How do students apply to transfer into this program?
Your transfer process depends on where you are currently attending school.
- Students applying to change majors from within Steinhardt must fill out the change of major application.
- Students transferring from another school within NYU must fill out the internal transfer application through NYU's Office of Undergraduate Admissions
- Students transferring from another institution outside of NYU must fill out the external transfer application through NYU's Office of Undergraduate Admissions
When do transfer students apply to this program?
Students must complete one full year in the program to which they were originally admitted before they are eligible to transfer. Many students apply in the Spring of their Sophomore year for entrance in the Fall of their Junior year, however, we welcome applications from students at any point in their academic career after their initial year of study. Because of the fieldwork experience, students will need to spend at least two years in the program.
What are the minimum course and GPA requirements for entrance into this program as a transfer student?
A 2.7 GPA or higher at the time of application
Students must complete at least one of the following courses prior to their entry into Applied Psychology:
- APSY-UE 0002 Introduction to Psychology and Its Principles
- APSY-UE 0010 Developmental Psychology
Students must complete prerequisite courses with a B- or better.
If a prerequisite course is in progress when a student is admitted, it must be completed with a B- or better. Completing a prerequisite course with a grade of a C+ or lower will result in the student being unenrolled from Applied Psychology.
Students who are freshmen at the time of application must meet the additional requirement:
At least one prerequisite course must be completed at the time of application.
Students who are sophomores at the time of application can be considered for admission with one prerequisite in progress, but priority is given to students who have completed at least one of the prerequisite courses at the time of application.

How many credits can I transfer into the program?
The maximum number of credits you can transfer in is 72. However, if you want to be eligible for Latin Honors at NYU (cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude), the maximum number of credits you can transfer in from another college or university is 64.
Will all my credits transfer?
Not necessarily. Once you are accepted, your undergraduate college transcript(s) will be evaluated. Only courses with a grade of C or better will be considered. You will receive a statement of transfer credit with your admissions packet, which will specify the courses being accepted for transfer credit. Specific questions should be discussed with your academic adviser.
If I transfer from a community college, am I eligible for a Community College Transfer Opportunity Program (CCTOP) scholarship?
Quite possibly. Please visit the CCTOP website for more information
