ADP - Associate of Arts in Behavioral Science
The Associates degree in Behavioral Science provides its students with a strong liberal arts background, concentrating in psychology and other human-studies disciplines. This degree can serve as a stand-alone degree or can complement the Bachelor of Arts degrees offered through the Accelerated Degree Program.
Like all ADP degrees, the A.A. in Behavioral Sciences emphasizes communication skills. The study of human nature emphasized in Psychology and Sociology courses required for the A.A. degree will support the focus of B.A degrees offered by ADP.

Recent graduate, Business
To Concordia University,
I have had the honor of attending Concordia University Accelerated Degree Program in Texas and Wisconsin. After two years of classes, I attended my graduation on May 9, 2009 in Austin where I received my BA in Business. My experience with Concordia has helped me grow not only in my Real Estate Brokerage business but as a leader in our community. With my exposure to a variety of courses, networking with experienced adult students, and personal care that I have received from Concordia University’s staff, I would recommend Concordia to other adults who are looking to finish their education. I have not only gained an education but some close friendships that will stay with me beyond my life at Concordia University. Education is something that no one can take away from you. My view of the world, work, family, and friends, has changed and prospered because of attending Concordia University. I will be continuing my education by pursuing a master's degree in business this fall.
Kindest Regards,
Christine Jacques
