I just recently found out that my school will not be offering AP Psychology next year. I really wanted to take that but I have another option of taking classes at a local college to gain credits for college in the future (I'm going to be a junior next year).
If anyone can suggest colleges that offer psychology classes to high school students for credit it would be greatly appreciated.
I live in New York City and can only travel to Manhattan and Brooklyn. I hear CUNY and/or SUNY schools are good for this but I can never find information about this.
If you can please direct me to informarion and links and some suggestions that would be very helpful.
Thank You!

Why are you so focused on this? I understand that you might be interested in psychology, but then you would do better to take the course when you get to college. Many colleges won't accept an AP course in psychology. If you insist on it, contact the schools in question to see if they will take you.

Psychology is a good start to finding better answers in fields other than psychology. Police work is going strong, due to all the CSI shows. Psychology, english, math, history, physics computer science, chemistry.... All help determine what people around you are likely to do in order to predict what your field of work in life will be. That would be statistics and accounting.
NONE of the colleges I've attended transfered credits betwixt one another. I've been asked to bring the physical book from a previous college in for "consideration" to think about transferring credits, never happened. DON'T fall into that money trap. Colleges were authorized under President Bush to collect student loans directly from Social Security paychecks should you not repay your loan while attempting to build a family.
Nowadays, colleges are like house and car loans. I'll call them the end of life burden... Death, taxes, and student loans. Do yourself a favor and apprentice to a good psychologist and learn first hand. The best airline mechanic instructor I ever met got fired last week due to local politics. Play politics or life, the outcome is the same. With, or without the pricetag. Build or borrow, Everybody chooses. I recommend building.
Always learn from the best.

It really depends. I was an EE major (now I'm CS, and I'm considering physics), and took 19 credit hours my first semester. They were almost all gen-ed classes, and I did pretty well. The next semester I took 17 credit hours, and did much, much worse because the classes were just plain harder. I'm now taking 12 credit hours and still feel pretty overwhelmed (finals next week). However my girlfriend, a BioChem major, takes more classes, studies less, and gets better grades. So it really depends on the individual. For your first semester, you may want to take it easy, just keep in mind having an 'easy' schedule has just as much to do with what classes you take as how many.
