About Psychology
The Psychology Department offers programs in both Arts and Science. For an outline of the nature of Psychology, refer to the Faculty of Science's Psychology section. Programs that may be taken by Arts students are described in this section, while those listed under the Faculty of Science may be taken by science students only.
Note: The B.A. or B.Sc. with a major concentration or honours degree in Psychology is not a professional qualification. It does not qualify the individual to carry on professional work in psychology.
Information Meetings for New Students
All new students entering the Psychology undergraduate program should attend an information meeting prior to registration. Newly admitted students from CEGEPs should attend the information session in June. There will be an identical information session in August for all other students, and for any CEGEP students who could not attend the earlier meeting. Please check the Department of Psychology's website for the specific dates. Students accepted into the Bachelor of Science program must attend a different information meeting from those in the Faculty of Arts, (for details, see the Faculty of Science's Psychology section). At this meeting, the Psychology undergraduate advising team will explain the requirements of the Department's programs. Incoming students will have an opportunity to ask questions and receive advice on how to plan their courses.
Entering students can bring a copy of their collegiate transcript(s). They should also consult this publication and a preliminary class schedule before this advising session.
Students entering the Psychology program in January are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with an academic advisor in the Department of Psychology in early December to clarify their course selection.
