If I only took those 2 classes could I get a Bachelors degree? I have like no clue how this all works because... I was never explained how college works sadly lol

What I don't want is having to take a whole bunch of classes I could care less about just to get a degree...

Oh and one last question isn't Community College just as good as a "University"? To me it just sounds like ones more fancier than the other. K Thanks People!

u cant just take 2 classes and get  a degree, you have to commit to a course and fullfill the requirements set by the school, this usually includes a set of core subjects related to ur degree and a selection of elective subjects that you choose for yourself. U migth benefit from looking at the course guides on some university or community colleges to see what the requiremens are and what the resulting qualification is.

Gad damn this sounds like high school all over again... forced education... I HATE IT. Let me learn what I want to learn =]

Just take a computer psychology course.

Haha great idea!...

Community colleges can't grant Bachelor's degrees; only a four year college can do that. Community colleges generally offer Associates Degrees or Certificates. For some careers, that is adequate, but others will require a Bachelor's Degree. It all depends on the employer and such things as licensing requirements.

Community colleges and four year colleges are different creatures. There's no better or worse comparison. They serve different purposes. Some people don't want or need a four year degree, so they might choose the community college route. Others may not want to go away from home to attend a four year college for some reason, financial, family, job, etc. Some people go to community colleges as a transition to a four year school; maybe they weren't ready financially, grades or whatever to start up with a four year college. Many four year colleges accept transfers from community colleges and count the courses and the grades.

You should really contact the college you're interested in, directly or through it's website to see the requirements for a degree. If you just want to take courses at a community college in an area of interest, you can usually do that without taking other things; but you can't get a degree doing that. As pointed out by others, in order to get a degree, you generally must meet specific course requirements outside your area of interest.

AWESOME! Everything I was wanting to know! I guess I'll have to settle for an associates degree or certification now. I really don't feel like taking more classes that I have no interest in just to get that "Bachelors Degree" Status. And yeah I'll give my community college a phone call asap. Thanks again!

I'm not sure how they do things over there, but here, you'd need to do more than just the two subjects. Before you fret though, that might mean doing things like behavior, cognition & learning etc in psych (awesome btw) and hardware & software etc in comp repair.

AH! Ok I see what your saying so if I was to go for a Bachelors they would have me take classes that are related to Psychology? And not classes like math, English, and history?

That's what I'm guessing. As I said though, you might do things differently over there.

Here with a bachelor degree, you can do pretty much whatever you want. You just have a set number of classes that you have to do and a set field (ie psychology). For me I'm doing a 3 year psych degree with 4th year honors (that is competitive, and needed to practice). First year you can do things like history or science or languages or whatever (all elective) and 2nd, 3rd and 4th year are all psych (behavior, cognition, brain etc etc) with a few electives.

Thing is, it might be better for what you want to do to have those subjects on your degree. However it's really more important to do what you like and are good at.

I'd suggest checking out the college page, and maybe e-mailing them, phoning or going in if you can. The stupidest question is the one you don't ask.
