Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behavior. As a social science, psychology studies humans in interaction with other members of the same species. As a biological science, it regards human beings as the product of evolution and emphasizes the biological perspective, comparing and contrasting human behavior with that of other species.McGill's Graduate Department of Psychology is one of the oldest and best known in North America. The Department offers two full-time, research-intensive graduate program tracks, each ultimately leading to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Degree.<h2>Requirements</h2>The nominal requirement for admission is an honour or major degree (B.A. or B.Sc.) with significant research experience. Such experience is usually obtained by completing an undergraduate research course, writing an undergraduate or Master's thesis, or working as a research assistant.&nbsp;Students applying to the clinical program are advised to complete 42 specific undergraduate credits in psychology as specified by the Ordre des Psychologues du Quebec.Those 42 credits are distributed as follow:<ul><li>Biological Bases of Behavior (6 credits)</li><li>Cognitive - Affective Bases of Behaviour (6 credits)</li><li>Social-Cultural Aspects of Behaviour (6 credits)</li><li>Human Development (6 credits)</li><li>History and Systems of Psychology (3 credits)</li><li>Psychometrics (3 credits)</li><li>Research Methods (3 credits)</li><li>Statistics (3 credits)</li><li>Personality (3 credits)</li><li>Psychopathology (3 credits)</li></ul>Students missing any of the required 42 undergraduate credits must demonstrate proficiency in these areas by taking the required course(s) independently and passing a final exam. Students may complete these courses during the first two years of their graduate program.All candidates for the Ph.D. degree must demonstrate broad scholarship, mastery of current theoretical issues in psychology and their historical development, and detailed knowledge of their special field. Great emphasis is placed on the development of research skills, and the dissertation forms the major part of the evaluation at the Ph.D. level.Ph.D. students in Clinical Psychology must fulfill similar requirements to Ph.D. students in the Experimental Program and must also take a variety of specialized courses, which include practicum and internship experiences.<h2>Course Structure</h2>The Department of Psychology offers two full-time, research-intensive graduate program tracks: Clinical Psychology &amp;
