Psychology Transfer

Program Statement

The Liberal Arts/Psychology Transfer Concentration provides a comprehensive and rigorous foundation for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution to complete a baccalaureate degree in psychology or a related field. The program prepares students with the core knowledge and skills by providing foundational courses that parallel the first two years in a four-year institution and prepares students for success in more advanced psychology classes in the future.

Program Information

  • The Liberal Arts Psychology Transfer Concentration is fully available on campus and online.
  • BIO 111 is the recommended Biology elective.
  • Students with an interest in a specific area of psychology should work with their advisor to choose electives that best align with their area of interest in psychology.
  • Students must complete PSY 230: Statistics for Psychology with a C+ or better to complete the program.
