Notes

This is a graduate diploma program, not a standalone degree. It must be taken concurrently with a master's or doctoral degree in one of seven departments (psychology, philosophy, biology, kinesiology, electrical engineering and computer science, physics). Application deadline listed as 'Apr 15-Jun 15' for Fall. No information provided on application fees, stipends, GRE requirements, or international funding. Degree offered reflects the concurrent programs it accompanies. | Canadian institution. June 15 deadline — later than US programs. GRE not accepted.
