All degree programs in Psychology have been revised. Students enrolled prior to the 1999-2000 Regular Session should consult with the department. All students are expected to consult with an academic advisor each year.
The Department of Psychology has introduced breadth requirements to enhance a student’s understanding of the scope of the discipline. Some of the courses at the 200, 300 and 400 level have been arranged into two broadly-defined areas:
Group 1- Social Science courses related to the cultural, social and environmental influences on behaviour:
• 200-level courses: PSY 213.3, 214.3, 216.3, 222.3, 223.3, 224.3, 225.3, 226.3, 230.3, 257.3, 260.3, 261.3
• 300-level A courses: PSY 315.3, 317.3, 323.3, 325.3
• 300-level B courses: PSY 316.3, 318.3, 324.3, 326.3, 328.3
• 400-level courses: PSY 418.3, 425.3, 426.3, 480.3
Group 2 – Natural Science courses related to the cognitive, neuropsychological, and biological influences on behaviour:
• 200-level courses: PSY 242.3, 243.3, 246.3, 252.3, 253.3, 255.3, 256.3
• 300-level A courses: PSY 343.3, 347.3, 355.3
• 300-level B courses: PSY 344.3, 348.3, 356.3
• 400-level courses: PSY 444.3, 448.3, 456.3
No more than 6 credit units from one subject may be used to meet Requirements B1 to B4.

Students interested in entering an Honours program should consult advisors in the department concerned before registering for their second year. Not more than 60 credit units of the courses comprising the B.A program may be in any one subject, and of the 120 credit units required for the B.A. degree, at least 66 credit units must be at the senior level. Application for admission to Honours is not considered until successful completion of at least 60 credit units with a Cumulative Weighted Average of at least 70% overall and at least 70% in the subject of Honours. In some programs, higher averages may be imposed. For further details, please see the Degree Requirements in the Arts and Science section of the Calendar.
Students must have completed at least 60 credit units before applying for admission to the Honours Degree Program in Psychology. Formal admission requires application for admission made on a form available at the Undergraduate Office, College of Arts and Science. Each year the department of Psychology normally admits 30 students into the Honours Program. These admissions are done on a competitive basis and averages below 77% (in the last 60 credit units as well as for all courses taken in Psychology) would not normally be competitive for the program.

Students must have completed at least 60 credit units before applying for admission to the B.Sc. Honours degree program in Psychology.

B.Sc. Honours students should have a faculty supervisor at the time that they apply to the Honours Program. Admission to the capstone thesis project course (PSY 473.6) is by permission of the department's Undergradute Committee and PSY 473.6 course instructors, who assess whether the student has completed sufficient coursework.
