So, the other day I was thinking about going back to school. You know, to learn something new and maybe switch things up career-wise. I’ve always been kind of fascinated by psychology – like, what makes people tick? So I started looking into it and stumbled upon this “Dallas College” place. Turns out, it’s not just one college, but a bunch of campuses scattered around Dallas: Brookhaven, Cedar Valley, Eastfield, El Centro, and a few others. Sounds huge, right?
Anyway, I dug into their Associate of Arts Degree with a Field of Study in Psychology. Seemed like a good starting point, since I eventually want to transfer to a four-year university here in Texas. They’ve got this whole catalog for 2024-2025, and it lists out all the psychology courses they offer. Things like “PSYC 2301” – no idea what that is, but it sounds official!
I started poking around their website, trying to get a feel for the place. They kept mentioning “DCCCD” and then “Dallas College”, it is the same one, just changing the name. There was a lot of talk about how they want to help students grow, not just academically, but also “spiritually, intellectually, and professionally”. I mean it is a little extra, but sure, I’m here for personal growth, too.
Then I went down a rabbit hole comparing Dallas College to other colleges in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. There’s a whole ranking thing for 2025, and people are talking about the “Best College in DFW” and all that jazz. It’s a bit overwhelming, to be honest.
I did find something about student usernames – they look something like “e1234567@*”. Just some random letters and numbers. Oh, and I saw a bit about flashcards with terms like “social construct” but honestly, that’s getting a little ahead of myself. Let us cross that bridge when we get to it.
The whole process was a bit much. There’s a ton of info, and it’s kind of hard to know where to start. But hey, I took the first step. I’m actually looking into this psychology thing, and Dallas College seems like a legit option. Who knows, maybe I’ll actually end up there!
- Explored the Dallas College website and discovered its multiple campuses.
- Focused on the Associate of Arts Degree with a Field of Study in Psychology.
- Compared Dallas College to other institutions in the area.
- Noted the student username format and some basic psychology terms.
Key steps I’ve taken:
It’s a start, right? Baby steps. Still need to figure out the application process, financial aid, and, you know, actually choose which campus to go to. But for now, I’m feeling pretty good about this little exploration.
