<p>What are the distribution/graduation/core requirements like? I know at McGill they are very broad - you only have to take three classes in four subjects, meaning I could hypothetically never take a math class in university, which is fine by me.</p>
<p>What are Toronto's like? I'm trying to find the info on the website but I'm a little confused.</p>
<p>1 credit in each of humanities, social science and science.</p>
<p>Very simple. And you will not have to take a math class at U of T either. Even the science requirement can be satisfied by an intro Psychology course, Astronomy is another popular choice.</p>
<p>Well he will have to take stats and stats is math.</p>
<p>Why would he have to take stats?</p>
<p>ivyleaguer, you mean the minimal amount of stats that is included in an introductory Psych course? That would hardly be considered a math class.</p>
<p>no, as a psych major, you will be required to do stats. remember psychology is a science now at U of T. I had to do the psych stats. Stats are required in the social sciences and life sciences at U of T. in fact most majors as far as I could tell from flipping through the catalog. it’s logical because stats generally are the prereq to the research courses. I still remember to square root the variance to get the standard deviation, from psych stats at U of T. LOL. Here is the catalog description just recently:</p>
<p>Required Courses (2006 - Current)</p>
<p>The Major Program requires 6.5 full-course equivalents, and preferably no more than 7.5 courses with a PSY-indicator***:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>PSY 100H</p></li>
<li><p>**PSY 201H <a href=“or%20equivalent%20course%20in%20statistics”>/B</a></p></li>
<li><p>Two of PSY 210H/220H/230H/240H (Cluster A), and two of 260H/270H/280H/290H (Cluster B)</p></li>
<li><p>Four half-courses at the 300-level taken from Group 1 below, with at least one from each of Cluster</p></li>
</ol>
<p>PSY201H1 F - Statistics I
Instructor: I. Spence
Time: Thu 6-9
Prerequisites: PSY 100H/100Y
Recommended Preparation: High school Calculus</p>
<h2>Exclusions: ECO220Y/227Y/GGR270H/270Y/SOC202H/300Y/STA220H/248H/250H</h2>
<p>PSY202H1S - Statistics II
Instructor: N. Farb
Time: Tue 6-9
Prerequisites: PSY201H
Exclusions: ECO220Y/227Y/GGR270Y/SOC300Y/STA221H/250H/JBS229H</p>
<p>Statistics II (PSY202S) is a continuation of PSY201F, expanding on experimental design and data analysis. Specifically, PSY202S will provide an in-depth overview of analysis of variance (ANOVA). Topics will include: statistical decisions, simple ANOVA, mean comparisons and contrasts, factorial ANOVA, non-additivity versus additivity, repeated measures ANOVA, and advanced factorial designs. This course is designed to provide the student with a strong conceptual understanding of the design and analysis of experimental data using ANOVA.</p>
<p>Basic techniques of data analysis in psychology; the description of psychological data and basic statistical inference applied to psychological data.</p>
<p>Sorry, alwaysamom 
if the original poster’s major is not psychology, he will need to clarify so I can advise if he will need stats or something comparable. the only program I recall however, not needing stats was American Studies,(Yes, they have that program there, but you have to hunt for it. LOL.) But I am sure there are others that you don’t require stats.</p>
<p>I am not majoring in psychology; probably English or political science.</p>
<p>Neither require stats…but Poli sci does have research so you will be crunching some numbers.</p>
