Counselling Psychology
Students in all specializations may be able to license as psychologists depending on the selection of courses and their academic background. The courses in the Counselling Psychology specialization, however, are designed to meet the graduate course requirements for chartering with the College of Alberta Psychologists. Students from other provinces are encouraged check with their provincial regulatory body for course and program requirements. Provisions will be made for students to obtain, as additional electives, other courses required to qualify to begin the licensing process.
Recommended Background
Students in this stream are encouraged to have a stronger psychology background than students in other streams. In order to meet the total of 72 psychology credits required by the College of Alberta Psychologists, students should ideally enter the program with 12 half courses (36 credits) in psychology or educational psychology.
Students without a comprehensive psychology background may be admitted to the program, but will require additional undergraduate, graduate, or post-graduate course work to meet the academic requirements for chartering. Courses will be offered to enable students to meet these additional academic requirements.
