Course-based instruction will involve a series of statistical and field-specific courses that are typically completed during the first year. A research-based thesis will start in the f irst year and will be completed during the second year. The thesis provides the opportunity for student to further their scientific training by acquiring valuable hands-on experience using a variety of methodological, statistical, and/or laboratory techniques. Students will participate in the seminar courses (PSYC 5801H and PSYC 5802H) for the entire two years of the program. Students must attain at least a B- (70%) in all course work to remain registered in their program. A final grade standing at less than a B- will be assigned a grade of F and will preclude continuation in the Psychology Graduate Program. For further details, see Failed Course Policy.
