Welcome to the Psychology Program at College of DuPage

Why people do the things they do is a question that has been asked throughout the ages. The field of psychology tries to answer this question through the study of human and animal behavior.

In the College of DuPage Psychology program, students explore a wide range of psychology courses that can lead to a bachelor's degree at a four-year institution, career enhancement or personal fulfillment.

COD offers an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree for students who are interested in transferring to a four-year institution. Numerous College of DuPage psychology courses are completely transferable, based on Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) standards.

"I appreciate all of the opportunities that I have been given because of my education at College of DuPage. I would also encourage COD students to get involved in the activities on campus, such as sports or clubs. These allow you to make lasting friendships and gain connections to people who can help you on your path to a higher education and a fulfilling career."

Erin Blair Psychology
"I was paying thousands of dollars a year to go to a four-year school that prided itself on small class sizes, teachers who knew your name and a sense of community. I didn't have any of those things until I came to COD, and it was a fraction of the price. The teachers are invested in helping you achieve and the classes I took were small and personalized, not in a lecture hall or taught by a teacher's aide."

"I never thought that today I would be pursuing my master's degree. I am the first one across multiple generations within my family to graduate with a college degree, and I have COD to thank for that. Trust me, in the end, after all of the hard work, the doubting and even joy – it is worth it. I can even say this after the fact that I had to take two math classes just to get to the one I needed to graduate!"
