*Courses must be taken in sequence

**You may take either your Foreign Language Electives or Literature Electives at Northeast, however, both are required for the Bachelors degree.  You may take both before transferring, however, you will need to substitute 6 of these hours for other electives or your total hours will equal 71, which is 6 over what will typically transfer.

Graduation Note: The Associate of Arts degree in psychology requires 63 total hours.  Thirty-two of the 63 hours must be in the required core curriculum in order to graduate (see the Northeast Catalog for a listing of core course requirements).  The curriculum schedule listed above includes the 32 hours of core course requirements
