Faculty List

Associate Chair: T.B.A.

Psychology is that branch of science which seeks to understand behaviour and mind. Why organisms - human and infrahuman - act as they do is one of the most compelling and longstanding questions in the history of human thought. Philosophers, artists, novelists, theologians and others have sought the answer through a variety of means. Psychology uses the methods of scientific enquiry to address the question.

The areas of interest encompassed by the discipline of psychology include: how organisms perceive their environments; how they learn, adapt, and remember; how they change over their lifetimes; how they choose among alternate courses of action; how they respond to motivating forces; how they are affected by the presence of other organisms in social settings; how their behaviour relates to their physiological functions; and how individuals and species differ from one another. Our course offerings in Psychology include all of these topics, covering how psychologists go about answering the important questions in each, and what we have learned about each.

The Specialist Program in Psychology includes courses from each of the main sub-areas within the discipline. This Program is intended both for students with a strong interest in the field and for those who wish to pursue graduate work in psychology after the first degree. Students considering graduate study should plan to include the thesis course (PSYD98Y) in their undergraduate Program.

The Specialist Co-operative Program in Psychology and Its Applications offers three streams, one in Cognition and Behaviour, another in Public Opinion and Behaviour, and a third in Behavioural Disorders. Admission to the program, which involves practical work experience, is limited.

The Major Program in Psychology is designed to introduce students to the main areas within the discipline. The Minor Program is designed for students who are interested in a less intensive exposure to the field. Often, students desire to concentrate their studies in two areas, in which case a double Major Program combining psychology with another discipline is ideal.

Students particularly interested in the relation of brain to behaviour should consider the Neuroscience Programs described earlier in this Calendar . Those particularly interested in the study of knowledge - language, communication and thought - may wish to consider the Cognitive Science Programs described earlier.

Courses in Neuroscience

First-Year Students in Psychology

SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN PSYCHOLOGY

   	or
   (b)	PSYC85H	History of Psychology

6. Credits at the B-level and/or C-level (3 full-credit equivalents)

   Students are required to take one full-credit equivalent at the B-level and/or

   C-level from each of the three content groups listed below:
   (a) Social, Developmental and Personality (listed in the l0-, 20-, and 30-series);
   (b) Learning and Physiology (listed in the 40- and 60-series);
   (c) Perception, Language and Cognition (listed in the 50-series).

7. Credits at the D-level (1 full-credit equivalent)

   In selecting one full-credit equivalent at the D-level, students may not include more than 0.5 full-credit equivalent from any one of the content groups listed under 6a, 6b, or 6c. Certain D-level NRO courses may be used to fulfil this requirement in Group 6b with approval of the Supervisor of Studies.
   

   Specialists are encouraged to plan on enrolling in the thesis course (PSYD98Y) in their third or fourth year, particularly if they intend to pursue a career in Psychology or a related discipline. NOTE: A 300-level course in PSY offered at another campus is comparable to a C-level course, even if listed as an exclusion to a D-level course. Hence, a 300-level course may not be used to satisfy the D-level program requirement, although it may be applied as appropriate to other program requirements. Courses at the 400-level count as D-level courses.

8. Additional credits in Psychology (2.5 full-credit equivalents)

   Students must choose 2.5 further full-credit equivalents from any of the remaining courses in psychology. In selecting the 2.5 full-credit equivalents, 1.0 full-credit equivalent must be at the C- or D-level.

B. Other Disciplines (2 full-credit equivalents)

Students must select at least two full-credit equivalents at the B-level or higher in a discipline or disciplines other than Psychology.

MAJOR PROGRAM IN PSYCHOLOGY

The Program requires completion of 6.0 full-credit equivalents in Psychology and normally results in the 3-year B.Sc. in Psychology.

1. PSYA01H	Introductory Psychology: Part I
   and

   (1 full-credit equivalent)

2. PSYB01H	Psychological Research Laboratory
   (.5 full-credit equivalent)

3. PSYB07H	Data Analysis in Psychology

4. Credits at the B-level and/or C-level (1.5 full-credit equivalents)
   Students are required to select one half-credit (.5 full-credit equivalent) at the B-level and/or C-level from each of the three content groups listed below:
   (a) Social, Developmental and Personality (listed in the 10-, 20-, or 30-series);
   (b) Learning and Physiology (listed in the 40- or 60-series);
   (c) Perception, Language, and Cognition (listed in the 50-series).
   
5. Credits at the D-level (.5 full-credit equivalent)
   Students must choose one half credit
   (.5 full-credit equivalent) from the
   D-level offerings in Psychology. Certain D-level NRO courses may be used to fulfil this requirement with the approval of the Supervisor of Studies. NOTE: A 300-level course in PSY offered on another campus is comparable to a
   C-level course, even if listed as an exclusion to a D-level course. Hence, a 300-level course may not be used to satisfy the D-level program requirement, although it may be applied as appropriate to other program requirements. Courses at the 400-level count as D-level courses.
6. Additional credits in Psychology (2 full-credit equivalents)
   Students must choose 2 further full-credit equivalents from any of the remaining courses in Psychology. At least one full-credit equivalent from these must be at the C- or D-level.

MINOR PROGRAM IN PSYCHOLOGY

   (b) Learning and Physiology (listed in the 40- or 60-series);
   (c) Perception, Language, and Cognition (listed in the 50-series).
5. Additional credit in Psychology (1.0 full-credit equivalent at the C-level).

SPECIALIST (CO-OPERATIVE) PROGRAM IN PSYCHOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS

The Program combines academic studies in the field of psychology with practical work experience in settings in which scientific knowledge from various sub-fields in the discipline is applied. Students will enrol in one of the three streams: Cognition and Behaviour, Public Opinion and Behaviour, or Behaviour Disorders.

The work experience provided by the program enables students to explore career opportunities that may be pursued following the bachelor's degree; however, completion of the program does not represent a professional qualification in psychology, which requires further study at the graduate level. Work settings may also provide students with the opportunity to observe psychologists interacting with other professionals, hence providing a broader and more informed basis for the selection of a post-graduate program appropriate to the student's talents and interests. Some work settings will provide the opportunity for participation in applied research. For information on admissions, fees, work placements and standing in the Program, please see the Calendar section Co-operative Programs: General Information, page 71.

PSYC90H3

PSYC93H3 Supervised Study in Psychology

These courses provide an opportunity to investigate an area in depth after completing basic coverage in regularly scheduled courses. They are not intended as substitutes for advanced courses in fields where these are available. The student must demonstrate a background adequate for the project proposed and should present a clear rationale to prospective supervisors. Frequent consultation with the supervisor is necessary and extensive library research and/or data collection will be required. Such a project will culminate in a written submission.

Students must obtain a permission form from the Life Sciences Office (S521B) that is to be completed and signed by the intended supervisor, and returned to the Life Sciences Office. At that time, the student will be provided with an outline of the schedule and general requirements for the course.
