Transferring Psychology Credits from Broward College

I'm a psychology major at Broward College looking to transfer my credits. Can anyone advise on how smoothly psychology courses transfer to other Florida universities?

Your best bet is to contact the admissions offices at the Florida universities you're considering so you can get an accurate sense of how your psychology credits from Broward College might transfer because policies vary widely between institutions.

Keep in mind that public Florida universities, such as Florida State University, University of Florida, and University of South Florida, often have articulation agreements with in-state community colleges like Broward, and these agreements can ease the process of transferring credits.

As a general pointer, more specialized or upper-level psychology courses at Broward might not always have direct equivalents at the university you're looking to transfer to, while introductory or general education courses are more likely to be accepted. Some universities also differentiate between credits that will count toward degree requirements specifically and credits that will count toward total graduation credits.

Remember to hold onto syllabi and course descriptions for each of your psychology courses in case the university you're transferring to asks for more information when evaluating your credits. Such documents could prove invaluable if there is any uncertainty whether your courses meet the equivalent courses' objectives at your target school.

Transferring is a complex process and you should be prepared to spend some time tracking down information and making sure everything is handled correctly, but with careful planning, the transition can definitely be a smooth one. Good luck!
