Students interested in a Minor in Psychology should examine the schedule of studies for the Minors in Psychology and Educational Psychology. The department does not offer Psychology as an Area of Concentration in the General BA Program.

Courses marked (H) are designed for students in a psychology major or minor, the Information Systems and Human Behaviour major or the Educational Psychology minor. Students in other programs wishing to take these courses must obtain the permission of the instructors concerned. Courses designated with (H) are Honours level courses requiring for registration a cumulative average of at least 70% in all course attempts in Psychology, or registration in the ISHB Major.

Students must complete at least 3.00 credits (2.00 credits for the PSYC minor) of the following 2000-level Psychology courses. Psychology students are advised that they are normally expected to complete at least four 2000 level Psychology core courses prior to attempting any 3000 level Psychology courses.

PSYC*2310	[0.50]	Introduction to Social Psychology
PSYC*2330	[0.50]	Principles of Learning

Note: The regulations of the B.A. program state that 7.00 credits must be taken at the 3000 level or above (see B.A. Program Regulations).

With permission of the Psychology Department PRIOR to course selection, up to 1.00 non-psychology credits that would enhance the student's studies in Psychology, especially in preparation for post-graduate work, may be credited towards the total number of credits required for graduation in the honours program major in Psychology.

Graduate Studies Advisory Note: Most graduate programs require the student to have at least a B+ average in order to be considered for admission. Students contemplating graduate work in Psychology are strongly advised to complete the major by completing 0.50 electives credits at the 3000 level or above and 0.50 elective credits at the 4000 level beyond PSYC*4870 and PSYC*4880 (the Honours Thesis courses) which would otherwise satisfy the 3000-4000 level elective requirement for the major.

These students are encouraged to complete the Psychology major as follows:

1. PSYC*1100 and PSYC*1200

2. 6 of the 2000 level Psychology core courses

3. PSYC*2010 and PSYC*2040

4. PSYC*2360 and PSYC*3370 and PSYC*3380

5. an additional 0.50 credits in Psychology at the 3000 level or above

6. PSYC*3250

7. PSYC*4370 or PSYC*4900

8. 0.50 electives at the 4000 level

9. PSYC*4870 plus PSYC*4880

Students should note that the Honours Thesis courses are normally taken in a Fall-Winter sequence worth the equivalent of 1.50 credits toward the 20.00 credits Honours B.A. degree requirements.
