Total Credits Required for Degree: 60 min.*


Depending on the General Education electives completed, more than 18 credits of Electives may be needed to reach a minimum of 60 credits for the degree.

*A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101  course, Transitioning to College, went into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college (meaning you have not successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101  during your first semester at CCBC, possibly increasing the number of credits required for the degree to 61 credits. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) in order for this requirement to be waived.

Transfer Pattern Outcomes:


Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:

  1. articulate in written, oral, or signed formats the fundamental perspectives, principles, concepts, vocabulary, and methods in many key areas of psychology;
  2. critically analyze and apply data derived from psychological research with humans and animals in evaluating alternatives and making personal and workplace decisions;
  3. analyze and evaluate psychological information found in film, television, radio, or information technology resources;
  4. demonstrate the use of technology tools for accessing, interpreting, and expressing psychological changes;
  5. articulate the relevance of diversity to various behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions; and
  6. understand their own weaknesses and strengths as learners.

Transfer Pattern Description:


This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Psychology. Beyond the General Education requirements and other degree, program, and elective requirements, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.
