If you are interested in beginning the internal transfer exploration process,

Start by filling out the Internal Transfer Interest form to share more about you. At the end of the form, there is a link to schedule an appointment to meet with a member of our team to discuss the internal transfer process and requirements. These meetings can be held over Zoom or in-person in Campion 104. **Please note that internal transfer interest meetings may be scheduled before and after each term's advising period**

After you meet with a member of OUP, please fill out the Internal Transfer Consideration Form to officially apply for consideration as an internal transfer into Lynch. As a part of the process, you will complete a 250-word+ personal statement that provides a clear and thoughtful rationale for wishing to join the Applied Psychology, Teacher Education, or Transformative Educational Studies major(s) in the Lynch School and why you are particularly interested in transferring into Lynch. Reflect on your academics, personal experiences, and professional aspirations, and describe how Lynch programs and opportunities align with your intended major(s) and goals.
