Students are required to complete a minimum of 600 hours of approved Advanced Practicum clinical work, 240 hours of which are in direct service with clients. This provides students with opportunities to refine basic assessment and counselling skills as well as develop specialized areas of interest. The Advanced Practicum placement is regarded as a summative clinical experience leading to the master's degree in Counselling Psychology.

A study of the fundamental principles of mathematical statistics. Topics include probability distributions and densities, expectation and moment-generating functions, functions of random variable, sampling distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, regression and correlation, analysis of variance, nonparametric tests.

Students specializing in the field of nursing will explore applied statistics at an introductory level. The focus is on developing the conceptual aspects of the subject rather than the mathematical foundations and assumes no prerequisite except elementary algebra. Topics include descriptive statistics, probability, the normal, t-, chi-square and F-distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression. Applications are directed towards health and biological studies

Students will explore probability theory, descriptive and inferential statistics at an introductory level; applications are taken from a wide range of disciplines. Topics include descriptive analysis, scientific visualization, sets, permutations and combinations, probability, discrete and continuous distributions (e.g. binomial, normal, t), confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Not for credit towards a major, concentration, or minor in Mathematics
