Psychology program St. Clair County Community College (SC4)

Earn your Bachelor of Arts in psychology on the St. Clair County Community College campus! Those of you on the sunshine side of the state can complete your degree close to home from UM-Flint--a Princeton Review "2009 Best Midwestern College."

This program, offered jointly with SC4, enables you to take nearly all of your courses for this program on the SC4 campus or online.
