Course Requirements
In addition to a PhD dissertation, doctoral students must complete听a comprehensive exam as well as the two required courses:听PSYT 606 (Mental Illness: Diagnostics and Determinants), and PSYT 605 (History and Philosophy of Psychiatry); and one elective course. The program strongly encourages students select a relevant methods course as their elective. All PhD students must register for the overall graduate program in the fall and winter semesters by selecting REGN RCGR from the Faculty of Graduate Studies menu of courses on Minerva.
