Sample Transfer Path

Transfer MCC-to-Fredonia: Psychology, B.A.
Sample Transfer Path

The Psychology, B.A., degree provides students with a basic knowledge of a broad range of psychological concepts and theories, and an understanding of the methods used by psychologists in the study of human behavior; to contribute to the building of an integrated liberal education, designed to equip the student for postgraduate employment or further specialized education; and to demonstrate the relevance of psychological analysis to current social problems and provide students with the knowledge to better understand themselves and others. Many of our majors continue in graduate school in fields of study including school psychology, social work, counselor education, cognitive psychology, counseling psychology, and law.

The State University of New York at Fredonia is committed to doing our part to provide transfer students a clear path to graduation. This four-year degree plan is a sample map for fulfilling requirements at your Community College and Fredonia.
