However, STATS1CG3 (or STATS 2D03,se~ Note 7 below) is strongly recommended,and must be completed by the end of Term 1 in Level II:MINIMUM AVERAGESIGRADES:2005-2006 Only: A Cumulative Average of 6.0 and an average of7.0 in PSYCH 1 A03, ;1AA3. ,-Effective 2006-2007:, A cumulative Average of 6.0 and a grade ofB- in .each of PSYCH 1 A03,,, 1 AA3.NOTES' ,1. The Honours Psychology program consists of five options: qcore and four specializations .. At the c.ompletion of Level I or, , Level II, students, may chQose one of the following fourspecializations: ",_-. Behavioural Neuroscience Specialization-Cognition and Perceptiofl Specialization- Developmental Specialization '- Evolution and Social Behaviour Specialization ,Students who ,choose not to specialize will remain in the Hon- 'ours Psychology (Core) program.2. The Ho'nours Psychology Core program can also be combinedwith the Origins- Research Specialization. See the section onthe Origins Research Specialization in this section of the Cal-,endar for more information. Students wishing to combine the,'Origins Research Specialization with the Psychology Core mustsatisfy all the Psychology Core requirements as well as thecourses specified by t,he Origins Research Specialization. Studentsmay do this by selecting Origins Research Specializationcourses for Psychology Core electives. In addition to thecourses specified for the Psychology, Core, students must c.ornpletethe following courses by the end·of Level II:6 units CHEM 1A03, PHYSICS 1B033 units from ASTRON 1 F03, PHYSICS 1 BA3, 1 BB33, units -from CHEM 1 AA3, ENVIR SC 1 G033. Registration in a specialization will be noted on the, student's," transcri~t.4 .. Students considering appiying for graduate school should',complete 'a course with' a- strong research component such _" as PSYCH 3003, 4003, PSYCH 4D06, 4D09,.5. In many cases there'are Level II (and III) prerequisites forLevel III (and IV) courses. These should be considered when :choosing Level II (and III) courses. . ' _.6. MATH' 1 B03 (Linear Algebra I) is strongly recommended forstudents intending to pursue graduate work in Psychology.One .of MATH 1 J03 (Mathematical. Com'puting), COMP SCI1 MA3 (Computer Science I) or COMP SCI 1 SA3 (ComputingFundamel')tals)is highly recommended for students in theBehavioural Neuroscience, and Cognition and PerceptionSpecializations, and, for students. intending to pursuegtadu- I ,, ate work in Psychology.' "'7. Students wishing to' have more mathematical statistics mayreplace STATS 1 CC3 and PSYCH2RR3-with STATS2D03 and2MB3. In this case, students are advised to take MATH 1 B03in Level I and consult with a departmental advisor. ', 8. It is recommended that students complete poth CHEM 1 A03,and PHYSICS 1 B03. Chemistry is particularly useful for neu;..' roscience and biological aspects of psychology. Physics isparticularly useful for perception, electrophysiology, and mathematicalmodelling 'of psychological 'processes,. ' '9. Students may substitute three units from the Science Cap- 'stone Course List. , -' , _10.For Psychology Courses with' limited enrolment which requirepermissi0t:1 by preregistration ballot, students must complete,, and submit a ballot by April 20, 2005.
