Psychology

Students who earn a 5 on the AP Psychology exam may place out of the required full-credit 100-level Psychology course and into a 200-level course. Students will be provided with this placement only if their AP score is on record with the Registrar. Students can receive 1 Hamilton College credit upon receiving a minimum grade of B in PSYCH/NEURO 201 (but not in other 200-level Psychology courses). The credit may not be applied toward the Psychology concentration or minor; concentrators must still take a total of ten courses. Students who take a 200- or 300-level Psychology course while a student at Hamilton are ineligible to take a full-credit 100-level Psychology course at the same time or in the future.
