This transfer pattern is designed for students planning to transfer to a four-year
degree program with a major in psychology. It is also intended to provide students
an opportunity to attain the knowledge and skills necessary for potential employment
in various agencies, institutions, and organizations, and to widen opportunities for
advancement of currently employed students.
The general studies listed below must be coordinated with transfer requirements at
the four-year institution in order to avoid errors in course selection. When the curriculum
is selected for the potential career opportunities it offers, course selection must
meet this particular need. In either case, the student must work very closely with
the advisor to build a total program that meets his/her needs.
This program is designed to enable students to transfer to a four-year college or
university. Check with your advisor and the Advising Center staff as soon as possible
to ensure specific course transferability.
Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for an Associate
of Science degree in Arts and Sciences - Area of Concentration in Psychology.
