Introduction

Students wishing to emphasize the social sciences and humanities in their programs should register for the BA degree; those who wish to emphasize the biological and natural sciences should register for the BSc degree. A selection of the courses listed for the Honours program is recommended for those students planning to pursue graduate study in Psychology. Students contemplating majoring in the Department of Psychology are advised to be familiar with the structure and content of programs given under 3.6 Graduation.

Admission

First Year Admission to Psychology

In addition to meeting requirements for admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences (see 3.1 Admission), first year applicants should note that all programs offered by the Department of Psychology have a fixed number of places for students. For any program, whenever demand exceeds capacity enrolment will be limited and students will be admitted on a competitive basis.

Admission for Continuing and Transfer Students

In addition to meeting requirements for admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences, students transferring from other faculties and institutions must meet the competitive admission requirements in place for this program. Students already admitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences but who are applying to change their program to Psychology must also meet the competitive admission requirements. All programs offered by the Department of Psychology have a fixed number of places for students. Spring and Summer Session courses taken after May 1 in the year of application will not count towards determining admissibility.
