Recommended courses and GPA are major critical path courses or departmental recommendations and are not minimum requirements for transfer admissions.
Recommendations for competitive applicants:
-
3.0 and above GPA
-
English Composition
-
College-level math
The Psychology (BA) requires specific major Mathematics and Science requirements outside of General Education Program which are not subject to fulfillment under the CAA.
