PSY 961 / 971 Thesis Stream
If you’re thinking about graduate or professional school (med, law, MBA), or if you would just enjoy the challenge of independent research in psychology, consider completing an undergraduate thesis. To learn more about the thesis stream, you can attend one of the thesis/grad school information sessions that are held twice a year by Dr. Julia Spaniol, the Undergraduate Thesis Coordinator, in conjunction with the undergraduate Psychology Students' Association.
The buttons below link to key documents for the Psychology thesis stream:
- The Thesis Stream Information Package & FAQ contains a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions and is an essential read for anyone planning on applying for the thesis stream.
- The Supervisor List for Fall 2024 lists the supervisors for 2024/2025.
- The Thesis Stream Application Form will be active April 5 - April 26, 2024. We are not currently accepting applications for the 2024/2025 thesis stream.
Please note that a minimum CGPA of 3.33 and completion of PSY 511 (opens in new window) are required to apply to participate in the thesis stream. Only Psychology undergraduate students are eligible to apply.
