There are two levels for the definition of general psychology. The first refers to courses
that provide a broad, but relatively superficial,
view of psychology. Such programs are often used for
fulfilling social science requirements.
The second level refers to the non-technical aspects
of psychology, such as its history, philosophy, and
social implications.
Serious
learning experiences in General Psychology have tremendous
career asset value. This high level of asset value
isn't determined by a great need for practicing, career
psychologists, but rather from the fact it is a
first-rate
learning wrapper. This means that people with
degrees or doing serious learning in psychology will pick
up the knowledge, skills, and experiences that can be
applied to a wide range of business, financial,
hospitality, administrative, and public service careers.
(Just to mention a few).
