Major Concentration Psychology (36 credits)

Offered by: Psychology     Degree: Bachelor of Arts

Program Requirements

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. The B.A. Major Concentration in Psychology (36 credits) provides students with a basic overview, covering the core areas of psychological science as well as more advanced courses in specialized content areas. Students also have the option to complete a research course(s) (see Program Requirements for details). Note: this program may not provide sufficient undergraduate background preparation for certain graduate programs. Students who wish to go on to graduate training in psychology, and those who wish to complete the undergraduate credits in psychology as specified by the Ordre des Psychologues du Qu茅bec (which are required by some graduate psychology programs), are advised to take the supplementary Minor Concentration Behavioural Science. This specialization option will give students the space to take the additional courses they may need for such applications.

Program Requirements

The Major Concentration Psychology program is intended to provide students with a basic knowledge in psychology while completing a multi-track, interdisciplinary degree.

Note: The Major Concentration Psychology alone is not sufficiently focused to prepare students for graduate studies in Psychology, especially professional programs (eg. Clinical, Counselling and School Psychology) in Quebec. Nor does the program provide sufficient background for students to apply for membership in the Ordre des Psychologues du Qu茅bec, even once the additional graduate requirements of the Ordre have been completed. Thus, students planning to apply to professional psychology programs in Quebec are advised to consider a Bachelor of Science, Major Psychology or a Bachelor of Arts, Major Concentration Psychology with a Minor Concentration Behavioural Science (Note: The Minor Concentration Behavioural Science is not available to students in the Bachelor of Arts and Science).

Program Prerequisites (0-6 credits)

Students planning to enter the Major Concentration Psychology program should have completed an introductory course in general psychology and biology in CEGEP. Otherwise, they can complete them in their first year at 91社区 (see below).

Introduction to Psychology or General Psychology in CEGEP is equivalent to PSYC 100 at 91社区. Students who have not completed either of those courses are advised to take PSYC 100 in their first year.

Students who have completed General Biology 1 or 2 in CEGEP would have the recommended biology background. Students who have not completed one of those courses are advised to complete BIOL 111 or BIOL 112 during their first year.

91社区 Freshman students are recommended to complete the following courses in their U0 year.
