Psychology Transfer from Fresno City College

Looking to move from Fresno City College to CSU Fresno for a psychology degree. Has anyone done this transfer? Were there any challenges with credits or requirements?

Transferring from a community college like Fresno City College to a state university like CSU Fresno is usually designed to be a relatively smooth process, particularly for students who participated in an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) program. CSU Fresno should be familiar with the curriculum at Fresno City College, which will make assessing your credits more straightforward.

However, it can still be important to meticulous about ensuring that all of your credits will transfer as you would like them to. I'd recommend requesting an official course-by-course evaluation done by the Admissions Office at CSU Fresno to ensure your expectations align with the University's.

Psychology is a popular major at CSU Fresno, and the transfer requirements should be straightforward, usually including coursework in introductory psychology, research methods, and statistics in psychology. But, the specific required courses might vary.

Additionally, remember that you need a minimum transferable GPA of 2.0 as a California resident (3.0 if you are out-of-state) to be eligible for CSU Fresno.

Remember to apply during the application filing period, from October 1 to November 30.

Lastly, also note that due to the test-blind policy of CSU Fresno, your SAT/ACT scores (if you have taken either of these tests) won't be considered in the admission process.

So, in conclusion, be proactive, get a course-by-course evaluation done, ensure that you meet all the prerequisites, and apply in time to increase your chances of a successful transfer. Wishing you the best in your academic journey!
