麦吉尔大学

McGill's Faculty of Science is one of the world's great centres of science education and research because we're a community consisting of top students taught by top professors. It's as simple as that. Our students have the highest entrance grades in the country, and are counted among the best in the world. We also boast a young and vibrant faculty, thanks to a hiring blitz over the past several years that has allowed us to rejuvenate our teaching staff and recruit top scholars from around the world.

Liberal Program

This is a flexible and modular program. This option allows you to combine a core science component (CSC) in one discipline with a breadth component which may consist of a minor, a major concentration from the Faculty of Arts, or a second CSC. Consider the Liberal program if you do not want to overly specialise - plus, you will still have room left over for elective courses.

Program Requirements

This Core Science Component Psychology requires the completion of 45 credits in Psychology, all of which need to be passed with a minimum grade of C.

Recommended Background

It is expected that most students who enter the Liberal program in Psychology will have taken introductory psychology, biology, and statistics at the collegial level. Recommended CEGEP courses include Psychology 350-101 or 350-102 or equivalent; Biology CEGEP objective 00UK, 00XU or equivalent; and Statistics (Mathematics) 201-307 or 201-337 or equivalent. Students must obtain a minimum grade of 75% in their CEGEP-level statistics course to be exempt from PSYC 204. In the first year, those students who have not taken the recommended collegial-level statistics course, or those who have obtained a grade below 75%, must take Psychology PSYC 204. Those who have not taken Introductory Psychology in CEGEP must take PSYC 100.
