CURRICULUM CHANGES

56 calendar 

The last sentence under PSYCHOLOGY HONORS PROGRAM, Admission: 

- FROM: Transfer students with 60 hours of credit may be required 

to take additional courses at SFU before being admitted 

to the Honors program. 

TO: ? 

Successful completion of 15 semester hours of Psychology 

course-work 

at S.F.U.

RATIONALE: The change specifies the intent of the earlier state- 

ment; viz, to ensure that entering Honors students 

have considerable exposure to SFU Psychology courses 

and their requirements. 

56 calendar 

Under Psychology Honors Program, Admission: 

Delete: 3) "301-3 Intermediate Research and Data Analysis" 

Under Psychology Honors Program, Continuation: 

Add: 

?

"4) "Successful completion of PSYC 301-3, Intermediate 

Research and Data Analysis." 

RATIONALE: Given the frequency and timing of PSYC 301-3 offerings, 

the Psychology Department felt that scheduling diffi- 

culties (particularly for transfer students) would be 

• ? 

greatly reduced if PSYC 301-3 was changed from an 

admission to a continuation requirement of the Psychology 

Honors Program. Its function as a prerequisite for 

PSYC 490 and PSYC 499 (Honors Project seminars) will be 

maintained through specific changes in course prerequis- 

ites.
