The updated headings style should make headings easier to understand, implement, and see in your finished paper. APA has designed a five-level heading structure (we numbered them to talk about them, but you won’t actually number your headings in your paper).

Requirements | UBC Psychology Department | University of British Columbia | Canada Each year the Department accepts between 15 and 25 students from approximately 300 applicants. Although exceptions are sometimes made to the following requirements, these are rare. Master's Degree The usual prerequisite to the MA program is a four-year BA or BSc with a major or honours in Psychology. Students should have at least an 80% (or a GPA of 3.5) average in the last two years of undergraduate courses. Although students are initially admitted to the MA degree program (which is completed before admission into the PhD program), we do not admit students who are capable of doing only MA level work. Unclassified Status Students who do not meet the usual prerequisites may take additional undergraduate courses as an unclassified student. The prerequisite for admission to the PhD program is an MA or MSc degree in Psychology. High quality MA thesis research is the major prerequisite for admission to the PhD program.
