As you plan your courses, consult with your supervisory committee and complete your Plan of Study.

The PNB Masters degree requires the following courses:

  • Statistics and Research Design (PSYCH 710, half course = 1 term = 3 units), completed in first year.
  • Contemporary Problems in PNB (PSYCH 720, full course = 2 terms = 6 units), completed in first year.

The PNB PhD degree requires the following courses:

  • Statistics and Research Design (PSYCH 710, half course = 1 term = 3 units), completed in first year.
  • Contemporary Problems in PNB (PSYCH 720, full course = 2 terms = 6 units), completed in first year.
  • Two Advanced Statistics (PSYCH 711 and 712, quarter courses = 6-7 weeks = 1.5 units each)
  • PSYCH 711: Advanced Statistics and Computational Methods I
  • PSYCH 712: Advanced Statistics and Computational Methods II
These can be fulfilled in several ways: a statistical, computational, or programming course offered by the department, or with approval of your committee and the graduate chair, a course offered outside the department.
  • Two Independent Study Modules (PSYCH 713 and 714, quarter courses = 6-7 weeks = 1.5 units each)
  • PSYCH 713: Special Topics in PNB I
  • PSYCH 714: Special Topics in PNB II
Independent study modules are typically fulfilled by working in another lab to broaden knowledge and/or learn new techniques. Substitutions can be made with approval of your committee and the graduate chair.
  • One additional half course (1 term = 3 units)
Check the McMaster Graduate Calendar (link to 2017-18 calendar) for the list of half courses. Notice that the names of the courses refer to general topics, to allow flexibility. You may take a course offered by the department or you may find a course in a different department or an approved online course, which can be used to fulfill one of the half courses listed.
