Subjects of Major Interest
A subject of major interest is a specialization within a general degree program.
For example, a university might have a degree called "Arts", but through that program, you could potentially study several subjects of major interest, including History, Drama, Economics, English, French, Sociology, Philosophy, etc.
Usually, you will be asked to choose your "subject of major interest" when you apply.
Subjects of Major Interest for this program include:
- Psychology (BA)

Admission
Basic Requirements for Admission
The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and six 4U/M/DU courses, including 4U English, are required. Francophone applicants can present 4U French instead of 4U English.
In addition to the successful completion of the above requirements, you must also complete any required prerequisites for your program, and maintain the average used for conditional admission.
Note: Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the university.
Failed and Repeated Courses
Failed courses will be considered. Admissions will review the course with the highest grade.
Repeated courses are accepted. Admissions will consider the course with the highest grade, which may not necessarily be the most recently taken course.
Timing and Process for Admission Decisions
After applying to the undergraduate program, you will receive an acknowledgement email from York with your York University student number. The email will be sent within 2 business days of receiving your application. You can use your student number to log into York's applicant portal MyFile to track your application status.
York will begin assessing applicants and may make conditional offers of admission as applications are received. At all points in the process, you are encouraged to present as strong an academic profile as possible. It usually takes 4 to 8 weeks for your application to be processed and for a decision to be made.
York will consider 3U/M/DU courses for initial admission purposes. You may be considered for alternative programs if you do not meet the admission requirements of your original choice or if your original program choice is full.
