TRANSFER STUDENTS

Honors welcomes students who are transferring to PSU with college credits (or who started at PSU in UNST). About 50% of our students start as transfers. Students beginning in the Honors College with college credits should register according to the guidelines below.

30-89 CREDITS

Begin with HON 260, our transfer bridge course. This class is reading and writing intensive, designed to teach the writing skills and expectations from the first year of Honors, and also to connect you to a cohort of peers.

After HON 260, continue with second year coursework (HON 201, 203). You are not required to take HON 202.

All three sophomore courses are required, in any order, or concurrently.

90+ CREDITS

Begin with HON 360, our transfer bridge course. This class is designed to teach the skills from the first two years of Honors, so you will be prepared to take junior seminars and complete your thesis. This class is reading and writing intensive, learning how to think critically about how scholars perform research, establish their arguments, and enter into academic discourse.

After HON 360, complete one HON 407 seminar and 4 more credits from third year Honors requirements.
