Psychology
The field of psychology contributes to society and enriches human lives. Psychologists study the relationship between brain function, behavior, emotions, and the environment, and we use these findings to deepen our understanding of people, and to make positive contributions to our culture and to our world.
Pima Community College offers 12 psychology courses, either in person, hybrid, virtual, or online.
What do psychologists do?
Psychologists conduct research, study social development, teach, help children and teenagers, and promote physical and mental health. We also support community and individual well-being, and care deeply about how people think and feel and behave.
