Psychology and Counselling Overview

Exploring the human mind is one of the most fascinating adventures you can take. Who doesn't want to know what makes humans tick? Being able to understand why we have the tendencies we do to react in a certain manner under certain circumstances is important. Understanding what causes obsessions, phobias and compulsions can be truly intrinsic and empowering. Do you want to learn the cause of mental illness? If this sounds like you, psychology classes can help you uncover the mysteries hidden deep inside of the mind.

When you choose to work in psychology, you are given a unique opportunity to help numerous others who are struggling through some of the most difficult issues in their life. Guiding friends, strangers and family though mental illness and hardships is just one of the many things that you will be able to do. Since psychology pays quite well, you only have to work part-time to earn a decent wage and support your family.

The courses in our program cover an array of different topics that range from child psychology to adolescent psychology, industrial psychology and more. Expect to take classes in counselling, marketing and criminal psychology to round out your program. The courses provide you with the information needed to break into the field that you choose.
