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 Departmental Representative, Professor Russell Romeo, 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 Department Representative if she wishes to use one of the following Columbia courses towards her major
requirements, or if she has questions about other courses.
