The above requirement applies to courses transferred from other institutions as well as to courses completed at Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV. After declaring into Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV's psychology major program, students then apply for admittance to Douglas College's Disability and Applied Behaviour Analysis program.
Upon admission to the Douglas College program (described below), students may apply to the psychology advisor for declaration of the bachelor of arts psychology major, concentration in applied behaviour analysis.
Course Selection
Students should complete PSYC 100, 102 and 201 as soon as possible to gain better access to upper division PSYC courses. Students who plan a major in psychology should also complete PSYC 210 and 300 as soon as possible.
The department strongly recommends that students do not leave any of these required courses to the end of their degree. If a student is unable to obtain the required grade in PSYC 201, he or she will not be able to graduate with a major in psychology.
To enroll in psychology courses, students are required to meet the prerequisites or special instructions that may be stipulated for each. The listed prerequisites indicate the minimal background expected by instructors. See PSYC courses for details.
The department reserves one hundred per cent of all 300 and 400 division PSYC courses for approved psychology major, minor or honours students. Those who are not approved cannot enroll in these upper division courses until the open enrollment date.
Program Requirements
Students complete 120 units, as specified below.
