Psychology is the study of mental processes and human behavior. We investigate specific topics including memory, sensation, perception, thinking, language, intelligence, learning, consciousness, brain biology, the nervous system and others. Psychology courses consider how these impact us in our lives, at work, in relationships and as broad social groups. Psychology courses prepare students for continued coursework in a wide variety of discipline areas, including business, mental health, social services, criminal justice, law, the medical field, consulting, education and many others.

Chemeketa offers a number of psychology courses. The majority of these courses can be used to fulfill the Social Science requirements of the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree and the Associate of Science Transfer degrees in Business and Computer Science. See Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) Degree Requirements  for a complete listing.
