About Psychology

About Psychology

The Psychology department offers programs in both Arts and Science. For a list of teaching staff and an outline of the nature of Psychology, refer to Faculty of Science > Psychology (PSYC). Programs which may be taken by Arts students are described in this section, 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

Information Meetings for New Students

All new students entering the Psychology undergraduate program are required to attend an information meeting prior to registration. Students planning to pursue a Bachelor of Arts, or a Bachelor of Arts and Science, with a major concentration in Psychology must attend one of these meetings. Newly admitted students from CEGEPs should attend the information session on Wednesday, June 15th at 11:30 a.m. in room N2/2 of the Stewart Biology Building. There will be an identical information session on Tuesday, August 30th at 9:30 a.m. in room N2/2 in the Stewart Biology Building for all other students, and for any CEGEP students who could not attend the earlier meeting. Students accepted into the Bachelor of Science program must attend a different information meeting. (For details, see Faculty of Science > Psychology (PSYC).) At this meeting, Paola Carvajal, the Academic Adviser, 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. After this meeting, students will make appointments for individual advising sessions and fill out their Study Plan form for registration.

Entering students must bring their letter of acceptance and a copy of their collegial transcript(s). They will also need to have consulted this publication and a preliminary class schedule before their individual advising session. Students will also find the Psychology Department Handbook helpful. It contains more detailed descriptions of Psychology courses and provides guidelines for how students might pursue particular areas of interest. The handbook is available on the Department website: .

Students entering the Psychology program in January are strongly encouraged to visit the Academic Adviser, Paola Carvajal, in early December to clarify their course selections.
