The Science Requirement
If you're interested in Psychology in 2008-09
Columbia Summer Session courses: Any "S" course offered by the
Psychology Dept. in the Summer
Session is applicable toward the same degree requirement(s) as a "W" course of that same number offered during the academic year. (For
instance, S1001 meets the same requirements as W1001.)
Courses taken elsewhere: The Department of Psychology and the
Committee on Science Instruction feel that, except in extraordinary circumstances,
courses taken elsewhere (including Barnard) should not count toward
the science requirement as it is simply too difficult to evaluate other
schools' curricula. If you are a transfer student, or if you feel your
case involves extraordinary circumstances, please read "How to
Get Permission for Exceptions" for G.S.
Students or for C.C. Students.
Transfer students: Psychology courses taken elsewhere need
to be evaluated by the department to determine if they can be applied
toward the science requirement. We encourage you to do this as soon
after transferring as possible. Procedures are somewhat different for
C.C. and G.S. students. Please read the section "How to Get Permission
for Exceptions" for G.S. Students or
for C.C. Students.
