Completing General Degree Requirements as a Psychology Major

  • Quantitative Reasoning: MTH 223 transfers as STATS 201X and fulfills the QR requirement.  You will not have to take an additional QR courses outside of the requirements for the major.
  • Courses that transfer with the U-M subject PSYCH cannot be used for Area Distribution for psychology majors. Therefore Alpena's PSY 101, 226, 230, 241, 242 can't be used to fulfill social science distribution as they are listed on the General Degree Requirement Transfer Guide.
