Information for Upper-class students transferring in from other concentrations:

If you are interested in transferring into psychology from another concentration, you are in the right place!

• Requirements - click on underlined links in the chart for more information regarding labs and electives and track-specific courses
• Advising - after looking through the website, you should speak with the Concentration Adviser in your house. You may meet with an adviser either to explore the concentration or to register for the concentration. You will need to complete a Change of Field of Concentration form to make your change into psychology official. These conversations usually last between twenty and forty minutes, and it is best to try not to schedule these too close to Study Card day.
