The CPA endeavours to include a comprehensive list of graduate programmes in psychology in Canada in
its Graduate Guide. However, listing in the guide is voluntary and not every Canadian programme is
necessarily included. Additionally, the guide might not capture the most recent changes affected to any
given programme. The universities coordinates are listed in the guide and users are advised to confirm the
information contained in the Graduate Guide with the programmes themselves.
There are many other websites which list Canadian universities and their links. These can be accessed by
searching Canadian universities. Any university with a graduate psychology program which it would like
listed in the Graduate Guide is invited to contact CPA.

Politique relative l'admissibilit des

Policy for offers of graduate admission

and/or financial support
The Board of Directors of CPA approved the
following as a policy of the Association on June
16, 1979, and makes copies of this statement
available to departments for distribution to
prospective graduate students. The policy is
designed to provide prospective students and
departments with a period of time in which it is
understood that offers of financial assistance will
be made and can be considered and freely
accepted.
Le 16 juin 1979, le Conseil d'administration de la

SCP adoptait comme politique officielle la
politique suivante sur l'admissibilit aux
programmes d'tudes suprieures et l'aide
financire et en distribuait l'nonc aux futurs
tudiants dans les dpartements de psychologie.
La raison d'tre de cette politique: accorder aux
tudiants et tudiantes le temps ncessaire pour
leur permettre de prendre en considration et
d'accepter de faon claire toute offre d'aide
financire qui leur serait faite.
1.
Departments will endeavour to make
offers of admission and/or support to applicants
before April.
1.
Les dpartements s'efforceront de faire
l'offre d'admission et/ou de bourses d'tudes aux
candidats et candidates avant le 1er avril.
2.
Applicants have until April 15th to
accept an offer of admission.
2.
Les candidats et candidates auront
jusqu'au 15 avril pour accepter l'offre qui leur
sera faite.
3.
After April 15, offers will be made only
to applicants who state that they are not
committed to another department.

faites
Meaning of the Policy for Prospective

Students. Within this policy prospective
students should not feel pressured to accept
awards before April 15, when they will have had
an opportunity to consider all of their options. A
student who accepts an award ties up a position
and money that could have been offered to
another student. Therefore, after April 15 that
student is not regarded as free to accept an award
at another University without the written
approval of the first Department. Prospective
students who had previously indicated
acceptance of an award must then obtain a
written release from the first Department before
they are free to accept another award.
Aprs le 15 avril, des offres seront
4.
Seulement aux candidats et candidates
qui auront prcis qu'ils ou elles ne sont pas
inscrits(tes) un autre dpartement.
Interprtation de la politique. Dans le cadre de
cette politique, les tudiants ne doivent pas se
sentir obligs d'accepter les bourses avant le 15
avril mais bien lorsqu'ils auront eu l'occasion
d'tudier tous les choix qui s'offrent eux. Un
tudiant qui accepte une offre prend la place et
une somme d'argent qui auraient pu tre
accordes une autre personne. Par consquent,
aprs le 15 avril, un tudiant ne pourra accepter
une offre d'une autre universit moins d'en
avoir reu l'autorisation crite du premier
dpartement avec qui il a fait affaire. Aprs le 15
avril, tous les tudiants qui auront reu une offre
d'aide financire devront prciser qu'ils ne se
sont pas engags envers un autre dpartement.
Les tudiants qui auraient dj accept une offre
devront obtenir une libration crite du premier
dpartement avant d'en accepter une autre.

Senior lecturer; 1 adjunct clinical faculty). Academic year system fullyear. First Ph.D. awarded in 1978. First M.A. awarded in 1969.
Graduate training in psychology at Concordia University is for students

intending to obtain the Ph.D. degree in our program. At the beginning of
graduate training, students pursue the M.A. degree and affiliate with either
the General or the Clinical Profile. The two profiles have the same research
requirements but the Clinical Profile also includes clinical course work and
training. For the doctoral degree, the emphasis is again on research within,
General or Clinical Profiles. Graduate training at Concordia has two unique
features: areas of research specialization and the availability of clinical
training regardless of research specialization area.
Programmes and
Degrees Offered:
Research Areas:
The Department of Psychology offers two degrees. Master of Arts

(Psychology) and Doctor of Philosophy (Psychology).
In keeping with the department's emphasis on research, new students
immediately become part of a research team. Students are accepted into the
program under the sponsorship of a faculty member whose research
interests are similar to their own. Areas of research specialization have been
defined so as to include a range of perspectives and methods, from pure
research to applications. Students and faculty may specialize in one or more
areas. The areas of specialization offered by the department are:
1. Appetitive motivation and drug dependence: Analysis of behaviours
oriented around intake of nutrients and drugs. Research on behavioural
control in humans and animals. Study of neuro-physiological and biochemical mechanisms underlying appetitive motivation and addiction.
Applied experience with alcoholism, drug abuse, obesity, and anorexia
nervosa.
2. Behaviour disorders: The study of neurophysiological, biological and
social factors associated with particular behaviour problems and their
remediation. Research on the origins, nature, determinants and treatment of
- 16 -
G R A D U A T E
G U I D E
2 0 0 5 - 2 0 0 6
the various disorders. Current research with children and adolescents

focuses on developmental psychopathology, including risk factors for adult
psychopathology and precursors of particular clinical symptoms. Research
with adults examines the etiology of anxiety and depression, and the
relative effectiveness of therapies in controlling them.
3. Human development and developmental processes: The study of
normal and atypical patterns in human development across the lifespan.
Research on the origins, nature, determinants and interaction of cognitive,
perceptual and motor abilities, personality characteristics and social skills.
Research programmes on childhood and adolescence include: perceptual,
cognitive and motor processes in normal and high risk infants and young
children; family and peer relations; sex differences and sex role
socialization; predictors of adjustment, in particular across developmental
transitions; and ethnic attitudes. Research programmes on aging examine
lifestyle factors that maintain competence in elderly women and men, and
changes and continuity in cognitive abilities, language and personality.
4. Perception, Cognition and Neuropsychology: The study of sensory,
perceptual and cognitive processing and their development, leading to the
perception, responding to and comprehension of visual, auditory and verbal
stimuli. Research programs in perception include perception of motion,
depth, texture and color, spatial vision, and visual search, with special
emphasis given to the role of attention. Research programs in cognition
include studies of attention, memory, reading, skill acquisition, second
language skills, and musical performance skills. The developmental aspects
of cognition currently investigated include the origins of a theory of mind in
infancy and early lexical and conceptual development in monolingual and
bilingual children. Research programs in neuropsychology give special
emphasis to the role of attentional strategies, to auditory information in
perceptual and cognitive processing, neuropsychological mechanisms and
thought disorders, using neuropsychological methods such as brain wave
recording and brain imaging. Research is based on normal as well as
clinical, neuropsychological and other special populations.
5. Health psychology: The study of the psychological processes important
in developing and maintaining fitness and health. The role of stress and
coping variables, as they influence health, illness and pain perception. The
role of illness as a transition from healthy aging into frail old age. The
experience, interpretation of and derived meaning of major illness by the
elderly. The impact of various risk factors and disease states on cognitive
function, and of cognition and suggestion on pain.
6. Sexual and sex-related behaviour: Studies of biological and social
influences on sexual and sex-related behaviour in humans and animals.
Research areas covered include the following: sexual development in
animals; maternal behaviour and nutrition-endocrine interactions in
animals; genetic and hormonal influences on sex differences in brain
anatomy, function and behaviour; human sexual behaviour-reproduction,
contraception, abortion, sex role socialization and identification; sex
differences in attitudes, motivation, cognitive development functioning.
Clinical Profile:
The clinical training program is fully accredited by the Canadian

Psychological Association, the American Psychological Associations and
LOrdre des psychologues du Qubec. Students in any area of research
specialization may follow the Clinical profile, though historically Clinical

Research Space:
Humphrey Hall and the adjacent Craine building contain most of the
laboratory facilities of the Psychology Department and include as well,
lecture theaters, technical and electronics shops, public computing facilities,
temperature and humidity-controlled animal quarters, and animal surgeries.
There are a number of different facilities for the study of perception and
action, including laboratories for the study of optical flow, pattern vision,
psychoacoustics and auditory psychophysics, tactile psychophysics and
haptic perception, full-body motion, speech synthesis, music perception,
eye-hand coordination, facial animation, and human factors relating to
teleoperation, and virtual reality. Behavioral neuroscience facilities include
multi- and single-unit recordings, intracerebral microdialysis, and image
analysis, as well as laboratories for studying animal learning and cognition,
avian and insect navigation, and birdsong. There is a human sleep
laboratory, and laboratories for the study of human memory, decision and
categorization phenomena, and reading processes. There are extensive
facilities for research in developmental psychology, from infancy through
old age, including laboratories for studying infant perception, language
acquisition, lying, aggression and victimization. There are facilities for
computer-administered experiments in personality, social interaction and
influence, and social judgement, as well as eyewitness identification and
jury decision-making.
Research facilities are available at the Kingston General Hospital (located
on campus) for the investigation of sleep, the study of developmental
aspects of perception and behaviour in neonates, and for other research
involving physiological monitoring and recording. There are research
facilities located in St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital for investigating the
effects of brain damage on human behaviour, and the study of pain
phenomena. The Regional Community Brain Injury Service conducts
ongoing research concerning community integration and the sequelae of

Research in the field of developmental disabilities is conducted through

Ongwanada, a community-based agency serving persons with
developmental disabilities and their families. Ongoing research addresses
assessment and treatment of behaviour disorders, community integration
and quality of life, caregiver stress and coping, and parent/staff training.
The clinical psychology laboratories and other technical facilities of
Providence Continuing Care are available to graduate students who
undertake approved thesis research projects and clinical training. A large
and varied range of psychiatric, mental health and rehabilitation services,
including both out-patient and in-patient services for adults and the elderly,
provide opportunities for research in almost all aspects of mental illness and
psychological disorder.
The two general hospitals on and adjacent to the Queen's campus (Kingston
General and Hotel Dieu) as well as St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital have a
variety of programs where psychologists with adjunct appointments in the
Department of Psychology at Queen's are employed. Currently these
psychologists offer students supervised access to different patient
populations through practicum placements. As a result of current hospital
restructuring it is anticipated that the location of these services and student
placements will change.
The Department maintains a UNIX server, with workstations and
microcomputers of varying sizes and configurations located in laboratories.
It houses a semi-public computing site, and a teaching laboratory for
applied statistics in a computing environment. The Department is affiliated
with the High-Performance Computing Virtual Laboratory, Canadas
largest academic high-performance computing facility, operated by a
consortium of four universities (Queen's, Royal Military College, Ottawa,
and Carleton). The Department provides training in parallel computing
applied to behavioural phenomena. It also has facilities for the
computational modeling of cognitive processes.
Completed Ph.D. requirements essential, and preferably some post-doctoral

experience desirable but not essential. Approx. age: Open. A good record of

Candidates must have obtained an average grade of B+ or higher in the last

two years of study. For students not applying to the Clinical area, the
honours degree equivalent should include: the equivalent of one full course
in Introductory Psychology; one full or two half courses in Child
Psychology, Social Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Personality Theory,
Behaviour Disorders, a full course in Research Design and Statistical
Analysis, one full or two half courses in Experimental Psychology,
Learning, Motivation, Perception, or Physiological Psychology. For
students applying to the Clinical area, the honours degree equivalent should
include: one full course in Introductory Psychology; one full course in
Research Design and Statistical Analysis, and the equivalent of six other
full courses in psychology. The latter should include one full course or two
half courses in each of the following content areas:
I.
biological bases of behaviour (e.g., physiological psychology,
comparative
psychology,
neuropsychology,
sensation,
psychopharmacology);
II.
cognitive-affective bases of behaviour (e.g., learning, memory,
perception, cognition, thinking, motivation, emotion);
III.
social bases of behaviour (e.g., social psychology; cultural, ethnic
and group processes; sex roles; organizational and systems theory); and
IV.
individual behaviour (e.g., personality theory, human development,
individual differences, abnormal psychology).
Students with such qualifications may be admitted as Candidates for the
M.A. degree. GRE scores (Aptitude and Advanced Psychology) are
required. The M.A. programme usually is completed as an integral part of
the Ph.D. programme.
Ph.D.:The usual prerequisite for admission in the Ph.D. programme is a
master's degree in psychology. However, the Graduate Programme in
Psychology will consider applications from exceptional students with a
master's degree in another field. Students without a master's degree in
psychology would normally register in the M.A. programme. Students may
not enter the Ph.D. programme until they have completed all the M.A.
requirements including the thesis.
Full-time Ph.D. 124, M.A. 72. Part-time Ph.D. 20, M.A. 4. 25% male, 75%

M.A.: Candidates for the MA degree are admitted to one of the six areas of
specialization. Upon entry, all students must pass a statistics qualifying
examination, for which an undergraduate full course in statistics is usually
adequate preparation. All areas require a full graduate course in statistics, at
least a half course in the history and theory of psychology, and a thesis. In
addition to these general requirements, each area requires (a) between two
and three full courses at the 600 level, depending on the particular area; (b)
one or two practica which may have to do with either research, teaching, or
applied work (with the number and type once again being dependent on the
particular area). The thesis is supervised by a three-person committee. The
MA programme requires a minimum of one year and may not exceed two
years without penalties. Students who have not finished at the end of two
years become ineligible for registration in further courses and practica and
financial support ceases until all requirements for the degree are completed.

courses of study and research beyond the M.A. level for a period of at least
two years. Each candidate works under the guidance of a three person
supervisory committee. All Ph.D. candidates must fulfil the course
requirements specified by the area of specialization. In addition candidates
are required to complete at least two practica as specified by the particular
area. All Ph.D. candidates write a minor area paper on a topic chosen in
consultation with their supervisors. The topic is usually outside the area of
specialization and, with permission, may be chosen from a field outside
psychology. All Ph.D. candidates must conduct a research study on a topic
chosen in consultation with their supervisors and report the results in
appropriate dissertation form. The research and dissertation should
demonstrate the candidate's independence, originality, and understanding of
the area of investigation and should constitute a contribution to knowledge.
After the normal submission of the dissertation, an oral examination is held.
Additionally, both the clinical and clinical/developmental areas require a
full-year clinical internship in a setting approved by the particular area.
Also, the clinical area requires that its students pass an examination on
competency in psychological assessment.
