TRANSFER STUDENTS — Maximize your transfer experience: complete the boldface courses/requirements pre-transfer AND satisfy the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) General Ed Core or receive an AA, AS, or AAT (early childhood, special ed, or math) degree from an IAI community college. If ‘Minor’ requirements are shown, discuss careful course selection with the academic advising contact listed. Transfer Credit Equivalency Guides are located at siue.edu/transfer/

PSYC 111 is a prerequisite for PSYC 201; PSYC 201 must be completed with a grade of C or higher in order to be eligible for the Partnership Program.

# Professional Ed courses: SPE 400, EPFR 315, EPFR 320, KIN 330, Art 300a & CI 307.

+ One science course must include a lab; SCI 241a or b meets the lab requirement.

*Professional education courses for declared Elementary Education majors only. Only Education advisors will advise and enroll students in these courses.

** Partnership Program courses are for Elementary Education majors accepted into the Partnership Program. Students will be enrolled in these courses as a block by Education advisors. The Partnership Program begins in the fall only. Students can submit an application to the Partnership Program even if they are in process of completing requirements. Applying to the Partnership Program is a separate application process from applying to SIUE or declaring a major. Admittance to SIUE or declaring an Elementary Education major does not guarantee acceptance into the Partnership Program.

All courses listed above must be passed with a C or higher for certification requirements.
