What's in Charter Oak's General Psychology Concentration? - romoh - 04-19-2020

Hi folks, 

So for the Psych major at COSC, there are 4 concentrations. One of them is General Psychology which consists of 5 courses. I couldn't find on their site any details about what kind of courses fall under this category. Does anyone here have an idea?

It can include all kinds of Psych courses. There is no set guidelines, it's kind of a generic pscyh degree (not that there's anything wrong with that). You just choose 5 Psych courses and you're good to go.

It can be any courses your adviser agrees with. I'm working on that degree right now

Thank you guys.

LOL, yeah... any set of UL psychology courses would do in this case, somebody at COSC would just need to note that in your record if at all needed... having said that, this is what I would suggest you to do.

1) Check Study.com transfer guide for all the LL/UL courses available to place into your COSC Psych major
2) If any are missing, look for the required courses from other providers, such as TESU's TECEP exams
3) If no other courses are available from alternative credit providers, look at cheaper colleges/universities for credit

Note: Remember to use the courses from ACE and not from NCCRS sources.
