The therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicine is being actively renewed in clinical settings across Canada and around the world. Substances that have for millennia formed part of humanity’s healing traditions are now being scientifically studied and utilized for their potential therapeutic benefits in treating a wide variety of illnesses. The graduate microprogram in Psychedelic Science will focus on the scientific foundations and therapeutic uses of psychedelic medicine. It will complement the graduate microprogram in Psychedelics & Spirituality Studies, established in the Faculty of Arts in 2020. It can be taken independently, as a stand-alone microprogram or as an option for graduate students in Psychology or related programs. It is anticipated that it be stackable within the in development interdisciplinary MA in Psychedelics & Consciousness Studies.
The objective of the Microprogram in Psychedelic Science is to provide students with specific knowledge and skills in the disciplinary areas of mental health care, neuroscience, and consciousness studies, without requiring them to complete a full set of degree requirements. The program requires students to complete 9 units of coursework, in the areas of: psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (3 units), drugs/pharmaceuticals (3 units), and (3 units) in neuroscience or the mind.
Students already admitted into the Master or Ph.D. programs in Psychology can complete the microprogram on an optional basis and have these credits count towards the program requirements. The completion of the microprogram will be mentioned in their transcript.
Professional students who want to register in the anticipated M.A. program in Psychedelic and Consciousness Studies after the completion of the microprogram can have these credits count towards the program requirements in view of obtaining their degree. The M.A. admission requirements do apply.
The enrollment process for a Microprogram depends on your student status.
