NMC's Psychology program prepares students for transfer toward careers in mental health, research, or education. A doctoral degree and license are required of most psychologists. Courses include Introduction to Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Human Sexuality, and Psychology of Personality. Approximately 34% of psychologists are self-employed. Best job prospects are for those with doctoral degrees in applied specialties such as counseling or health psychology, or specialist/doctoral degrees in school psychology.
