Important Update on PSYC1500 - Foundational Skills for Psychology
As of Fall 2025, PSYC1500 has been REMOVED from the Psychology program requirements.
- If you haven’t taken PSYC*1500, and it still appears in your program requirements, you no longer need to complete it.
- PSYC2070 – Teams, Leadership, and Professional Behaviour is the next course in the core Psychology course sequence. You can take PSYC2070 once you’ve completed PSY*1000 and have earned at least 4.00 credits.
- To fully replace PSY*1500, you’ll also need to take one additional PSYC course (at any level) during your degree.
If you have any questions about how this course removal affects your academic plan, feel free to reach out to a Psychology Undergraduate Advisor.

PSYC1400 Mental Health and Well-Being
How cognition and emotion interact to drive our thoughts, feelings, and actions:
This section of PSYC*4580 considers how cognitive-behavioural, psychophysiological, and cognitive-neuroscience techniques can help us understand how our brains prioritize our thoughts and actions. How do emotional evaluations determine which things are helpful or harmful? How do motivational states drive us to choose some activities over others? And how are attention and other aspects of cognitive control both guided by, and able to regulate, such affective influences. This seminar-format course will help you understand the cognitive-affective mechanisms that determine how we perceive ourselves and the world around us, that influence what we like, what we remember and how we interact with others, and that are critical for self-regulation.
Understanding Psychopathy across the lifespan:
Have you ever watched a movie and wondered if a character was a true psychopath? How do we know whether someone has psychopathy? Is there such a thing as a successful psychopath? Dr. Craig's Psyc4580 will be focused on understanding psychopathy across the lifespan. We will review the development, assessment, and outcomes related to psychopathy. We will also look at special topics such as psychopaths in the workplace, psychopathy myths in popular media, and psychopathy in women.
