| Program Prerequisites: |
| In addition to the minimum admission requirements set
by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, students admitted
to the Ph.D. degree program normally possess a MA in
School Psychology equivalent to the requirements of the
UBC MA program (see coursework listed below). Students
admitted to the Ph.D. program should meet with their
academic advisor upon admissions to the program (and
no later than the first semester of their doctoral study)
to identify if prerequisites have been met. Students
may be asked to meet with instructors for the courses
and/or provide documentation such as course syllabi,
work samples, etc to demonstrate that they have met the
prerequisites. Prerequisites not met prior to entry may
be included in the doctoral program of study. Transfer
from the MA to the Ph.D. program is permitted under regulations
set by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. |
