The BAH program requires a cumulative average of at least 70% in the Psychology major. Grades in all courses in the discipline area of the major are included in the cumulative average. Grades from those courses in other disciplines listed as options toward the major are also included in the average.

Psychology students interested in completing an Honours Thesis project in 4th year should begin to search for a supervisor by the end of the Fall of the third year. Only consider this route if you have confirmed that the Masters program to which you intend to apply requires completion of a thesis, AND that the admission requirements are realistic for you.

The Honours Thesis project involves completing an independent research project in a faculty member's lab across the fall and winter of their final year, along with additional coursework. This learning experience is tailored for students who are planning to pursue graduate training in research-focused graduate programs (i.e. a graduate program where students are required to complete original research through Masters and PhD theses). Many course- or practice-based Masters programs do NOT require an honours thesis. Any students pursuing such graduate training who are interested in obtaining research experience are encouraged to look into the following research opportunities:

  • One-term independent research projects in Psychology
  • Undergraduate Research Assistantship Program (URA)
  • Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA)
