Plan Outline

This plan is for a major in Psychology within the program 3400.

Psychology is the scientific study of human behaviour.

Students should be aware that a Psychology major sequence in the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Social Science degrees does not satisfy the requirements for an "accredited three-year sequence in Psychology" as described below. To satisfy these requirements, students must complete three courses in addition to the major sequence.
