Most community colleges offer psychology. However, there is very little you can do with an AA in psychology. Even a BA is tough to find work in the field. Most positions require at least a Master’s. Some community colleges do offer substance abuse programs where yu are qualified to be a drug counselor after 2 years. There are also openings in hospitals and in patient treatment centers that hire students and AA/BA level people as mental health counselors. Sorry for the not so good news.

You can study psych at a community college, which gives you a 2 year degree.

BUT, I really don’t recommend doing a 2-year psych program….. .psychology is very competitive and even a B.S. in psych from a four year program does not get you very far. In psychology, grad school is the norm and is expected. Anything less will get you only a limited amount of jobs.

Rethink why you want to study psych, and what sort of job you’d like to have that involves psych. Do a job search for jobs you’d be interested in to see what the minimum requirements are. If you find that all the jobs you would like to have require a graduate degree in psych, then a 2-year program will definitely not help. If you’re still in school, I suggest going to speak to your academic advisor/counselor to talk about possible opportunities.
