Program

First Year

One 020-level Psychology course

One full course in mathematics is required. To fulfill the mathematics requirement, you must complete a full-course equivalent by taking Mathematics 030 or 031 (Mathematics 031 is preferred) or the former Mathematics 027, the former Applied Mathematics 020 or 023 a/b plus 024a/b or by taking two half courses from among the following courses: Mathematics 012a/b or 017a/b, Mathematics 028a/b, Calculus 050a/b, 051a/b, 081a/b, Linear Algebra 040a/b, Statistical Sciences 024a/b. If either Mathematics 012a/b or 017a/b is selected, then either Statistical Sciences 024a/b or Mathematics 028a/b must be taken. The combination of Mathematics 028a/b and Statistical Sciences 024a/b is strongly recommended.

Three additional full-course equivalents numbered 001-099 in different subjects.

Second and Third Year

Satisfactory completion of at least 10 full-course equivalents ^* that consist of both Psychology and non-Psychology courses. The Psychology course selection must include:

Psychology 282E^**
One half-course from the Psychology 200-239 series
One half-course from the Psychology 240-279 series
Three additional full course equivlanets at the 100- or 200-level, with no more than one half course from the 200-279 series.

Notes:

Although students may take further Psychology courses they may take no more than eight Psychology full-course equivalents in total (this number includes the 020-level course) and no more than three 200-300-level Psychology full-course equivalents.
^*At least two of the full-course equivalents in the three year degree must be designated essay courses (essay courses have E or F/G following the course number) and at least one of these essay courses must be in Psychology at the 100 level or above. A full or equivalent course from the faculty of Arts also must be included in the three year degree.
^**Students who may wish to delay entry into the Honors Programs until after second or third year are strongly advised to take both Psychology 280E and Psychology 281 in their second year in place of Psychology 282E. See Honors Programs in Psychology: Admissions and Progression Requirements (below).
