丁香园AV Calendar 2013 Summer

Doctor of philosophy (PhD) degrees signify the acquisition of advanced knowledge in a field of specialization and advanced competence in conducting significant and original education research. In this program, students develop specialized knowledge and skills through advanced study in educational psychology.

Students admitted to the program must have completed academic studies that equate to, or significantly parallel, courses in the master of arts (MA) program in educational psychology. Where gaps exist, an individual program of studies will be developed that includes courses from the master's program as well as other appropriate academic experiences (e.g., directed readings courses).

If EDUC 975 was taken in the MA program, PhD students are not required to retake the course.

This program does not prepare students for registration with the BC College of Psychologists unless students meet significant additional requirements outside the scope of this program.
