Program details
Overview
This undergraduate degree in Bishop's University's Faculty of Social Sciences offers a broad survey of the human mind and behaviour, available as a Major, Minor, or Honours option over three or four years with Fall or Winter entry. Coursework balances the history of psychological theory with contemporary research and builds core competencies in critical thinking, experimental design, and data interpretation across the discipline's major subfields. The program is delivered on campus. Bishop's recommends the Honours option in particular for students planning to apply to graduate school in psychology, since it provides the deeper research preparation graduate programs typically expect. The degree suits students interested broadly in human behaviour and its applications, and is structured to prepare graduates for a wide range of paths including clinical psychology, counselling, human resources, law, research, education, and social work, among others. Because the program does not require a placement or thesis outside the Honours stream, it also suits students who want a flexible undergraduate foundation in psychology that they can pair with further professional training, graduate study, or direct entry into people-focused careers after completing the degree.
