Thank you, Justin, for highlighting “the best UBC program you’ve probably never heard of.”
Hello,
This sounds really interesting! I think it’s something I want to do. If I go into a psychology sponsered one will it count towards my psychology credits required for graduaton?
Thanks!
Lydia
Hi Lydia,
Great question and so glad you are interested in participating in an SDS! The way in which seminars count towards majors credits will vary by course and department. This would be a great question to ask the faculty sponsor and Coordinator of the seminar in which you are interested in enrolling. You could also pose the question to your Undergraduate Advisor in Psychology (http://www.psych.ubc.ca/ug-pgm/ugadvising.psy).
Hope that helps and do let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,
Tlell
