Undergraduate Offerings
An introductory course (Psychology 110, 111-112, 150) is a prerequisite for all subsequent courses in Psychology.
In order to achieve a better understanding of experimentation in human behaviour, all students in introductory psychology courses are required to serve as subjects in up to 5 hours of appropriate psychological research.
A first year student intending to take either an Honours or a General Degree programme in Psychology must select either Psychology 110 or Psychology 150.
In year 2 to 4 Honours students are required to take Psychology 280, 290, 360, 430, and 499 as part of their programme.
In year 2 the General student majoring in Psychology must take Psychology 201-202, and at least one other full-year or two half-year Psychology courses. Psychology 281-282 is strongly recommended in the second year. The general student with a background in Mathematics or who plans to do graduate study in Psychology should substitute Psychology 280 for Psychology 281-282. During Year 3 the student must complete two full-year or four half-year Psychology courses at either the 200 or 300 level, including Psychology 281-282 if it has not been taken previously.
Students in either the Honours or General programme in Psychology should choose their electives after consultation with their advisors in the Department.
Undergraduate courses ending in 0 and 99 are full-year courses. Courses ending in odd numbers are half-year courses offered in the fall term, while courses ending in even numbers are half-year courses offered in the winter term, with the exception of those courses offered to students in co-operative programmes.
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.

degree or a professionally-oriented course leading to a Master of Ap- _ Plied Science (M.A.Sc.) degree. Available major areas of specialization are: perception and cognition, learning and motivation, biopsychology, child behaviour and development, social and personality, clinical, and counselling. Specific training programmes are constructed to suit the students interests, goals, and skills through consultation with his advisor. Candidates electing to major in clinical or counselling psychology will be required to complete internship training under conditions approved in advance by the Department. Students primarily interested in professional work in applied settings, for which they are seeking to qualify at the master’s level, are advised to take the M.A.Sc. programme. This programme is organized on a cooperative plan and includes four full terms of on-campus study and two terms of employed practical work and training in field settings. Students enter the programme in mid-September and will go out for their first fieldwork (internship) term in the following January or May. The degree thus requires two calendar years beyond the honours bachelor degree in psychology or equivalent preparation.
