UMCP - Criminal Justice & Psychology Transfer Admission Requirements Update

External transfer students from other institutions apply to both majors through the general application for admission to the University by indicating the major(s) of interest. With the single application for transfer admission, students are first admitted to the University and then to Limited Enrollment Program majors based on LEP standards - http://www.lep.umd.edu/.


Criminal Justice Contact information: http://www.ccjs.umd.edu/ 301-405-4729

Don't forget UMCP also offers a Criminology and Criminal Justice Program at the Universities at Shady Grove. This program is not a Limited Enrollment Program. Therefore students with 56-60 earned credits who do not meet the LEP entrance requirements may apply for admission to the CCJS program at the Universities at Shady Grove.

Psychology Contact information: http://www.bsos.umd.edu/psyc/undergraduate/, 301-405-5866

UMCP - Limited Enrollment Programs & Gateway Requirements

UMCP defines Limited Enrollment Programs (LEPs) as "competitive majors that control enrollment numbers to maintain program quality." Students beyond their first semester and those off campus wishing to transfer are required to meet the gateway criteria prior to applying to the major. Currently, the University of Maryland has ten Limited Enrollment Programs. For more information, see: http://www.lep.umd.edu/
