Psychology Transfer - Wright State University (Bachelor of Arts)

The Psychology Transfer program provides curricular options to prepare a student to transfer into the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology at Wright State University. It serves as a general guideline for transfer. The best selection of courses for a given student will vary depending upon the area of Psychology in which the student is interested and on the area selected for a minor at Wright State University.

The program schedules that follow are designed for full-time students who have completed all prerequisites and who have no college preparatory education recommendations. Some individuals, especially part-time students and those taking college preparatory education courses, will require additional quarters of study. Students should consult their academic advisors for help in planning their schedules.

Wright State University offers both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in Psychology. There is considerable flexibility within either of these degrees for students to pursue either a minor or a specialized area of study, including a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a Concentration in Behavioral Neuroscience. Students interested in pursuing the Pre-Psychology degree at Clark State are encouraged to contact the Psychology Undergraduate Program Office at Wright State by calling 937.775.4155 to arrange a pre-admission advising appointment.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of an Associate degree in pre-Psychology, a graduate will be able to meet the goals outlined for the general Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree; additionally, the student will:
  • Demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language.
  • Assess divergent aspects of individual and group human behavior in a wide variety of contexts.
Scholastic Preparation
Students entering this program should have taken the college preparatory courses offered by their high schools. Students who do not test into STT 264, Statistics I, will need to take the necessary prerequisite mathematics courses before beginning the Statistics/Math sequence. Ideally, students should also have taken a foreign language in high school. Those students who have not taken a foreign language in high school should include a full year of college level foreign language among their electives.
