Psychology - Bachelor of Arts (at Bunker Hill CC)
In Lesley’s Bachelor of Arts in Psychology program at Bunker Hill Community College, students develop a thorough understanding of psychological theories and apply core psychological principles to personal, social, and organizational issues. Through theoretical and applied coursework, students will gain the knowledge and skills needed for successful careers in a wide variety of settings including working with diverse populations, children, and families. Students are also well prepared to pursue graduate programs in the helping professions.
This pathway is specifically designed for students who have earned an Associate's Degree from a partner community college, and Lesley University has clearly articulated degree completion pathways for Psychology for community college graduates and transfer students. Therefore, many of the required Psychology courses (listed below) may be satisfied through transfer credit. In addition to the Psychology major requirements, approximately 30 credits of liberal arts foundation and/or elective credits are required. The classes needed to complete the Psychology degree, including required classes and electives, are taught by Lesley University faculty on the Bunker Hill Community College campus in Charlestown, MA. Coursework may also be completed online.
