NOTE:

I. Students taking double Majors or Majors and Minors which require the same course or courses (e.g. SOCI2008) cannot use these overlapping courses for both Majors or both Minors. Appropriate substitute courses must be taken in order to fulfill the requirements of both Majors and Major/Minor combinations. For example, PSYC2000 cannot be counted for both the Psychology (Major) and Criminology (Minor).

II. There are some out-of-Faculty and non-psychology courses which may act as substitutes for the required courses in the Psychology Major. PSYC1005 & PSYC1006 are accepted as a substitute where SOCI1001: Introduction to Social Research is required. Please inquire with the Psychology Unit Office.
