This is the only Diploma in Honors Standing program offered in Psychology. It is designed for students who wish to upgrade a 3-year degree while focusing on early childhood development and education. Students who wish to pursue this Diploma must apply directly to the Director of the University Preschool or the Department.

Admission Requirements

Applicants must have completed a 3-year BA with an average of at least 70% in all Psychology courses and no mark below 60% in any Psychology course. Students must have credit in a 020-level Psychology course plus at least four Psychology courses including Psychology 240a/b^* (the former 241), 281 and a full- year laboratory course or Psychology 280E.

^*In exceptional circumstances, Psychology 140 may be substituted for Psychology 240a/b.

Enrolment in this program is limited. Meeting of minimal requirements does not ensure admission to the program.
