Barnard and Columbia Overlapping Courses

If you have taken or plan to take a psychology course at another institution please read the following:

Students cannot receive credit for courses taken elsewhere which overlap substantially with courses taken at Barnard. Please consult with the Department Representative regarding Columbia offerings that overlap, and to request Departmental approval for any course taken at an unaffiliated institution.

The following list identifies those Barnard and Columbia course offerings that overlap. Students may not receive credit for both courses. However, this does not necessarily mean that one course is equivalent to the other. A student must speak with the Departmental Representative if she wishes to use one of the following Columbia courses towards her major requirements, or if she has questions about other courses.

Barnard and Columbia Overlapping Courses A student cannot receive credit for two courses considered to be overlapping. The list below includes popular course equivalents offered by Columbia Psychology, but it is not exhaustive. Pease check with the Departmental Representative or the Chair about additional courses. Also, please note: A student may only substitute a Columbia lecture or seminar course, and may not use a Columbia laboratory course to fulfill Psychology major/minor requirements, or to fulfill the Barnard Lab Science requirement (labs must meet for 3 hours/week to fulfill these requirements). UN2650 and UN2460 are 2000-level courses and cannot be used to fulfill the BC Psychology Senior Requirement. The CU Research Methods courses have a different format but offer equivalent content to BC1020 so a student cannot receive credit for both, but it is highly encouraged for BC Psych Majors to take BC1020 instead of the CU courses as the variation in how they are taught from semester/year to semester/year varies greatly.
