BIG BEND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
THE ARTS, EDUCATION & HUMAN SERVICES
PSYCHOLOGY (AA&S DTA)
This is an example course sequence for students interested pursuing a Psychology degree. It does
not represent a contract, nor does it guarantee course availability. If this advising map is followed
as outlined, you will earn an Associate in Arts & Sciences DTA Degree. This degree pathway
prepares students to further studies in Eastern Washington University’s Addiction Studies
program.
This pathway is designed to prepare students with the academic fundamentals needed to transfer
to four-year universities. Students interested in psychology as a career usually spend several years beyond their
bachelor’s degree in graduate training to prepare them for roles such as psychotherapists, teachers of psychology,
researchers, or industrial psychologists. Since programs differ at each college, students should consider program
outlines published by the college or university where the student plans to continue his/her course of study. Course
selection can be made based on the field of psychology that interests students most.
