The program described here is Departmental Co-op, meaning not Arts and Business Co-op.
Honours Psychology Co-op students (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science) gain beneficial work experience, perform a wide variety of tasks in numerous sectors, and are valued by their co-op employers and mentors. You will have opportunities to practice skills learned in Psychology courses (e.g., analytic, numeracy, computer, oral and written communication skills) and develop new marketable skills.
Admission to Honours Psychology Co-op is limited and will be at the 2A (year/level) fall school term. The Department of Psychology reserves the right to require a higher cumulative overall average and a higher cumulative psychology average for admission to the co-op system of study compared to the regular system of study, and to reserve spaces for admission to co-op at the 2B (year/level) winter level at our discretion. For Joint Honours Psychology Co-op, the first of the two Honours Majors must be Psychology, and the Home Faculty must be Arts or Science.
Refer to the Psychology Co-op section on the Psychology undergraduate website for further details
about the admission requirements and space limitations for Honours Psychology Co-op.
Those accepted to co-op will have four work terms. The first work term will be in the spring term following Year Two. The school/work sequence ends with a school term. Refer to the Psychology Co-op section on the Psychology undergraduate website for information regarding co-op positions, the requirements for writing work-term reports, the Professional Development (PD) course requirements, etc. Co-op fees will be charged for full-time school terms beginning the 2B (year/level) winter school term and ending in term 4B (i.e., Psychology students pay five co-op fee installments).
