It is expected that most students who enter the Honours program in Psychology will have taken introductory psychology, biology and statistics at the collegial level. Recommended CEGEP courses include Psychology 350-101 or 350-102 or equivalent, Biology CEGEP objective 00UK, 00XU or equivalent, Statistics (Mathematics) 201-307 or 201-337 or equivalent. Students must obtain a minimum grade of 75% in their CEGEP-level statistics course. In the first year, those students who have not taken the recommended collegial-level statistics course, or those who have obtained a grade below 75%, must take Psychology PSYC 204. Those who have not taken the recommended collegial-level biology should take BIOL 111 or BIOL 112, and those who have not taken Introductory Psychology in CEGEP must take PSYC 100.
Admission to Honours is selective. Students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or better are eligible to apply however, since enrolment is limited, the usual GPA for admission to this program is 3.50. Students must complete 27 graded credits in their U1 academic year to be eligible to apply to the Honours program.
Students must complete the following courses in their U1 year to be eligible to apply to the Honours program: PSYC 204, PSYC 211, PSYC 212, PSYC 213 and PSYC 215. Students are advised to complete PSYC 305 in their U1 year. Once in the Honours program, the student must obtain a GPA of 3.00 in the U2 year in order to continue in the program for U3. Honours students are encouraged to take at least 27 graded credits per academic year. This is also usually the minimum number of credits required to be eligible for fellowships and awards.
Note: PSYC 100 may be taken as a corequisite with these basic courses.
