Associazione di Arti in Psicologia - Percorso di Trasferimento

Associate of Arts in Psychology – Transfer Pathway

Careers in psychology typically require at least a bachelor’s degree. You can begin your education at LCCC by earning the associate of arts in psychology – transfer pathway, which may provide you with the necessary coursework for transfer to a four-year college or university.

All colleges and universities have general education requirements that are specific to their own institution. This is why it is critical to first check with your selected transfer institution to confirm the transferability and applicability of specific courses you choose to take at LCCC. Taking as many of your required courses here at LCCC will usually result in substantial financial savings.

This transfer example is specific to Cleveland State University, where they require courses in Western, Non-U.S. and Social Diversity in the Arts & Sciences and Social Science areas. Not all institutions will have requirements that mirror these areas.
