Transfer Students

Students who transfer to Swarthmore as sophomores or juniors should meet with the faculty advisor in psychology or with the psychology department chair to discuss receiving psychology course credit for work completed at their previous institution. The advisor or chair can help determine which of your prior coursework in psychology can count towards a major, minor, or special major involving psychology. 

Please note that the above is for students who are transferring to the college. For other types of transfer credit for off-campus study, please see our policy: The Psychology Department policies related to off campus study

If you have any questions about this, please reach out to Jed Siev (Department Chair), at jsiev1@swarthmore.edu
