Human science courses

The AHTA requires 12 semester hours, and a minimum of four courses from the following list:

• Developmental Psychology
• Abnormal Psychology
• Environmental Psychology
• General Psychology
• Human Growth and Development
• Adult Development and Aging
• Aspects of Disabilities and Illnesses
• Group Dynamics
• Principles of Therapy
• Human Anatomy/Physiology
• Medical and Psychiatric Terminology
• Professional Ethics
• Assistive Technology

The University of Phoenix offers Human Growth and Development (BSHS342) Abnormal Psychology (PSY410), Models of Effective Helping  (BSHS 312), Adult Development and Again (HCS 433, Principles of Therapy), and Anatomy and Physiology (HCS250).  The University of Phoenix courses are all on-line and asynchronous.  You don' thave to be on line at a certain time;  you just need to be on-line and submit comments and projects by specific deadlines.  U of P courses last five weeks (intense!) and involve on-line team work. 

Testimonial:  I've taken two courses there and will take a third shortly.  I really like the compressed time frame, and find the exchange between students on the discussion board very interesting and useful.  My contact for registration helped me make the first leap into class easily, and continues to make registration absolutely painless.   Beverly J.
