The Department of Psychology offers four-year programs of study leading to a BA (Honours) in Psychology, a BA with a Major in Psychology and a three-year BA Pass degree program. Programs are designed to provide students with a broad introduction to the field of psychology including research methodology, psychological theory and application. In addition, the 20-credit degree programs give students the opportunity to prepare for admission to professional and advanced degree training in a variety of fields. Students interested in pursuing graduate study specifically in psychology should complete the Honours program.

The requirements for graduation with a BA (Honours) are a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. The requirements for a BA with a Major and a Pass BA are a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

Students wishing to major in Psychology must apply to declare their major. Declaration of major forms are available in the Registrar's Office and on-line at http://www.brocku.ca/registrar/forms/index.html. The Department believes that a broadly based liberal arts and science background is appropriate in conjunction with a major in Psychology. It is recommended that Honours students acquire some background in other disciplines as part of their undergraduate program. Students wishing to pursue a four-year degree (Honours and 4 Year BA with a Major) must be admitted to year 4 after completing 15 credits. Applications are available in the Office of the Registrar and on-line at http://www.brocku.ca/registrar/forms/index.html. See the Psychology Major's Manual for more information. This manual is available in the bookstore and in the library.

Psychology Co-op Program (Honours and 4 Year BA with a Major)
The Psychology Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a five-year period. Students spend two years in an academic setting studying the core concepts of psychology prior to taking the first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Psychology Co-op students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees).

Students admitted to the Psychology Co-op program must follow the Psychology Co-op program schedule. Failure to adhere to the schedule may result in removal from the Psychology Co-op program. Eligibility to continue is based on the student's major average and non-major average. A student with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average will be permitted to continue. A student with a major average lower than 70 percent will not be permitted to continue in the Psychology Co-op program. If a student subsequently raises his/her major average to 70 percent, the student may be readmitted only if approved by the Co-op Admission Committee.

The Psychology Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have completed a four-year degree (Honours or BA with a Major) and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience.

Collaborative Study in Policing and Criminal Justice
The Collaborative Studies in Policing and Criminal Justice program combines training in policing and criminal justice with an education in a chosen academic discipline, which may be either Political Science, Psychology or Sociology. This is a four-year program leading to a 4 year BA with Major in Psychology involving courses offered through Brock and Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology. The program caters to the increasing demand in society for professionals who possess both solid applied skills and the substantive knowledge needed to apply them to the areas of policing and criminal justice. Normally, this involves attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and Niagara program combines the two in a single integrated package. Students normally enter the program at the start of Year 3 and should apply for admission at the end of Year 2 (application deadline is normally February). Program specific application forms are available through the Department. In Year 3 courses are taken at Niagara College. Enrolment is limited.

Program Notes

Honours students with a single major must select Psychology credits from at least three different content areas (see listings below). Honours students with a combined major must select Psychology credits from at least two different content areas (see listings below). Students intending to pursue graduate studies in Psychology are encouraged to select from at least five. Single BA with a Major students must select from at least three. Honours students intending to pursue graduate studies in Psychology are also advised to take PSYC 3F40 and 4F91.
Students enrolled in PSYC 4F91 are encouraged to enroll concurrently in PSYC 4P94.
Admission to year 4 (Honours) is by application through the Department and requires a minimum 75 percent major average and a minimum 70 percent overall average.
If a student has completed PSYC 3F40 and wishes to complete a BA with a Major, PSYC 3P30 will not be required.
For Co-op students, the Work term in Spring of Year 3 is optional if students elect to complete the third Work Term in Spring of Year 4. If the Work Term is completed in the Spring of Year 3, it is optional in the Spring of Year 4.
In all 20-credit degree programs, at least 12 credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, six of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above and of these, three must be numbered 3(alpha)90 or above.
