About the Program

The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Community Studies integrates psychology with an interdisciplinary curriculum exploring the humanities, science, arts, economics and sociology. 

Online students have a unique opportunity to access our community-based curriculum from wherever they may be. UMaine Machias’ psychology and community studies faculty have led the way in offering flexible, distance-learning options for internship and practicum supervision.

Students enrolled in this program may also choose to take an optional minor in counseling and substance use rehabilitation. Students who complete this minor will be eligible to apply for MHRT/C certification in the State of Maine.
