Psychology, Faculty of Arts

PSYC: Psychology

Unless otherwise specified, the prerequisite for 300-level Psychology courses is PSYC 100, or 101 and 102, or 6 credits of 200-level Psychology courses (but not 205 or 263), or permission of the instructor. Students registered in the B.Sc. Psychology program must elect Faculty of Arts courses other than Psychology to satisfy the Faculty of Science requirements of 18 credits of Arts. In addition to Psychology 348 and 448, all Psychology courses numbered 60 or higher in the last two digits have Science credit but they cannot be used to satisfy the science requirements of the Faculty of Arts. Listed below are courses in which there is sufficient overlap that credit may be obtained for only one course in each pair. However, it does not necessarily follow that the paired courses are equivalent: PSYC 304, 360, PSYC 217, 366, PSYC 218, 366. Students with fewer than 36 previous credits may not take 300-level courses. Not every course is offered every year. For current listings, consult the departmental website at www.psych.ubc.ca.
