The Department of Psychology allows students to transfer credits from psychology courses at other universities to apply toward the major.
- A maximum of 6 credits to be transferred can apply toward the major.
- Not all courses qualify for credit transfer. Courses must align with courses currently taught at the university or be equivalent in terms of content, requirements, and level.
- Course transfer credit is only available for courses at the 100 and 200 level. Higher level courses may qualify for PSY275 (special topics) credit.
- Courses taken as part of a UM study abroad program are considered for course credit transfer. A copy of the acceptance letter to the UM Study Abroad program must be submitted with the credit transfer request.
Credit transfer requests should be submitted using the Miami Academic Transfer Evaluation System (MATES) at
mates.miami.edu. A full syllabus for the course must be submitted with the request.
Please allow 2 weeks for course credit transfer review.
