To transfer as a junior into a baccalaureate psychology program, students must complete a minimum of 60 semester credits. Freshmen and sophomores who plan to major in psychology are encouraged to fulfill general education requirements with foundation courses in the sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, physics, and anatomy and physiology) and mathematics (e.g., college algebra, calculus, and statistics). The number of psychology courses taken at Parkland should be kept to a minimum. Students are strongly encouraged to complete an Associate in Arts degree prior to transfer. Since admission is competitive, completion of the recommended courses does not guarantee admission.
Students should plan their transfer programs with a Parkland academic advisor or counselor and the catalog of the four-year College or university they plan to attend.
