Psychology

Influence hearts and minds

Have you ever looked at someone and wondered, “WHY did he do that?” or “HOW does she think that?” Maybe you’ve always been the listening ear for friends and family. If you’ve always had an interest in human behavior, studying psychology might be for you. Psychology isn’t just listening to problems or giving advice – it’s the scientific study of behavior to understand the human mind.

Getting an associate degree in psychology at LMC is a great first step to potential careers in family, marriage, child and general psychology. But, understanding human behavior is a huge bonus in many careers. Sales, marketing and business professionals all benefit from knowing how people make decisions. Plus, you’ll be a lot more informed when psych tactics are used on you as a consumer.

Keep an open mind. Once you've finished classes at LMC, you can easily transfer to a four-year school to continue your studies. Psychology isn’t just for psychologists. It’s useful for business, sales, marketing – any field where you need to understand people and behavior.
