Associate in Arts Degree in Psychology for Transfer

Miracosta College

Students completing this associate degree will have completed lower-division major preparation requirements for a psychology degree, an emphasis or option within a psychology degree, or a degree considered similar to psychology at a participating California State University (CSU) campus. Following transfer to a participating CSU campus, students will be required to complete no more than 60 units to obtain a bachelor’s degree however, some CSU campuses accepting this degree may require additional lower-division major preparation. This degree may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a non-participating CSU campus or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a MiraCosta counselor for further information regarding the most efficient pathway to transfer as a psychology major and to determine which CSU campuses are participating in this program. Upon completion of this program, the student will be able to develop a study on a psychological topic, which includes a literature review, forming a hypothesis, creating a research design appropriate to the hypothesis, consideration of ethical issues, choosing appropriate statistics for data analysis, and summarizing research findings, using APA style.
