Psychology Flexible pre-major
For students interested in earning a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Psychology, Selkirk College offers
the provincially accredited Flexible Pre-Major,
60 credits of first- and second-year courses which
include 18 credits of psychology. Students who
complete the following courses at the first- and
second-year level (and who meet other requirements
for completion of first and second years —
e.g. total credits), will be considered for admission
to a BA in Psychology Major at the third-year
level. Students so admitted at the third-year level
will normally be eligible to complete their degree
in the equivalent of two further academic years, if
all other degree requirements are met.
Courses should be chosen only after consultation
with a Selkirk College counsellor.
The Psychology Flexible Pre-Major consists of
the following:
Totaling 18 credits, here are the required Selkirk
College courses for the Flexible Pre-Major
