Change of concentration to Psychology for students not in Psychology or Neuroscience

Students in a BA or BSc degree program who wish to remain in the same degree but add or change their program of concentration to the Major in Psychology do so through this process. For further details, consider attending an information session, on zoom or in person at Loyola RF 110. (The sessions for this semester are past, but check back here in November 2025 to sign up for one of the 2026 dates.)

Eligibility information

To be eligible for the Change of Concentration you must be a current Concordia student in a BA or BSc degree program, and you must remain in the same degree type (eg, BA History to BA Psychology, or BSc Biology to BSc Psychology).

If on the other hand you will be transferring from one degree to another in order to enter Psychology (eg, BSc Biology to BA Psychology), please consult the internal degree transfer process instead.

The application period is from October 1 to November 1 only; decisions communicated starting November 15. Please use this application e-form.

Academic requirements

  1. Complete a minimum of 24 credits at Concordia University.
  2. Introductory Psychology (PSYC 200 or PSYC 205) successfully completed, exempted or in-progress.
  3. Achieve a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 3.00 (B).
  4. Direct admission to the Specialization/Honours program is not possible.
  5. Refer to section 31.250 of the undergraduate calendar to review the program requirements & course descriptions before applying.

Note: Due to HIGH DEMAND, COMPETITION and LIMITED SPACE, the Department of Psychology cannot guarantee that all qualified applicants meeting the minimum criteria will be admitted. ADMISSION IS NOT GUARANTEED OR AUTOMATIC. We strongly recommend that you access career counselling at CAPS to discuss your interests and perhaps do some testing to discover a variety of career options if your GPA is below, or marginally above the minimum.

Transferable courses

All the credits from your current program will transfer to the new program, if admitted.
