Transferring in to the Psychology Program
The Psychology Undergraduate Program admits students who transfer to
the University of Maryland from another institution (external transfers)
and students currently enrolled at the University of Maryland who want
to change majors (internal transfers). There is no credit limit for
admission to the major. However, transfer students must complete the
Entrance Requirements for Transfer Students BEFORE submitting an
application to the major.

Students who have completed the Entrance Requirements Students must
attend mandatory Psychology Advising and a Academic Planning Session
