Note on numbering: Courses numbered 250-299, 350-399 are Honours courses. Ordinarily, General Course students will take the courses numbered 200-249 or 300-349. Honours students may take a limited number of 200-249 and 300-349 courses but Honours standing will be required. Undergraduate courses ending in 0 and 99 are full-year courses. Courses ending in odd

Graduate offerings: Courses numbered 600-650 are offered on a half-year basis. Courses numbered 699 and above are full-year courses.
Candidates for a graduate degree in psychology who possess an ordinary bachelor’s degree must take at least one preliminary year of work in psychology to ensure that their preparation is equivalent to that of a graduate of an honours course in psychology.

Candidates with an honours bachelor’s degree or preparation equivalent may select either a research-oriented course leading to the Ph.D. degree or a professionally-oriented course leading to a master’s degree.

Ph.D. candidates must pass a general examination plus an examination in their major and their minor field of specialization. Permissable major areas of specialization are: sensory and perceptual processes, learning, physiological and comparative, social, and clinical. Permissible minor areas of specialization are: any one of the five permissible major areas., counselling, developmental, educational, human-factors engineering, and industrial. Candidates who wish to work with children should select developmental as their minor area. Candidates electing to major in clinical psychology will be required to complete internship training under conditions approved in advance by the Depart-
Students intending to qualify at a subdoctoral level for work in appliedpsychology settings are advised to take the master’s programme in applied psychology. This programme is set up on a co-operative work-study basis (see page 48 for general principles). The programme commences with a six-week summer session, starting July Ist, during which all candidates will be in residence. Candidates for the degree are then divided in two streams, A and B. Over two regular academic years, each stream spends a half-year in residence and a half-year in an approved work-setting. Attendance at summer sessions, following completion of the first and second year of the programme, is required of students in both streams.

Undergraduate Course Descriptions
Notes.
(1) Students electing an Honours Programme or a Major in Sociology should register in Sociology 100. Students electing to major in Anthropology should register in Anthropology 101 or 102, but Anthropology 101 and 102 cannot be substituted for Sociology 100 towards further work in Sociology. (Plans are under way to offer a General B.A. in Anthropology in the near future.)
(2) General students who major in Sociology must elect the following courses: Sociology 100, Anthropology 102, Sociology 210, 315, 320, 325 and one of the following: Sociology 300, 301, 339.
(3) Students who pursue an Honours Programme in Sociology must take the following courses in their 4th year: Sociology 450, 470, 499 and two electives. Courses at the 400 level are normally open to Honours students only, but may be open to General students with the permission of the instructor.
(4) The number of hours or lectures shown after the course description is an attempt to indicate the “normal”; each instructor determines how often his particular class will meet.
