Program details
Overview
Burman University's Behavioural Science program leads to a four-year Bachelor of Arts and draws on sociology, psychology, social work, and anthropology to give students an understanding of human behaviour, culture, and society from multiple disciplinary angles. The curriculum brings these fields together so that students examine what shapes individual and group behaviour from more than one perspective rather than through a single discipline. Two internship courses run through a Work Integrated Program, giving students the chance to apply classroom learning directly in workplace settings before graduation. The program is delivered on Burman's Lacombe, Alberta campus. It suits students aiming at careers in human services and related academic fields, including counselling, social work, behavioural analysis, corrections, education, health coaching, and research, as well as those who want a broad, multidisciplinary foundation before committing to one specific human-services path.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Behavioural Science follows Burman University's general undergraduate admission requirements, since its own admissions page defers to the institution-wide standard: completion of high school with English 30-1 (or equivalent) at a minimum of 60%, four further grade 12 courses of which three must be academic, and an overall average of 60% with no individual grade below 55%. Burman's program-specific requirements page adds one course option for Behavioural Science: Math 30-1 at a minimum of 60%, or Math 30-2 at a minimum of 70%. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet Burman's English proficiency standard: IELTS Academic overall 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83 (560 paper-based), CAEL 70, PTE Academic 58, or Duolingo English Test 110; English 30-1 at 60% or one year of full-time study at an English-medium institution also satisfies it. No portfolio, interview, or work-experience requirement is stated for this program.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Burman University does not publish a fixed application-closing date for domestic applicants; admission is described as non-competitive and there is no deadline to accept an offer, so in practice domestic admission runs on a rolling basis. The one concrete date found applies to international applicants: for Fall intake, students other than those from the USA must have documents submitted and financial clearance arranged by 8 May, though this figure was published for the Fall 2026 intake and Burman has not yet posted an equivalent date for Fall 2027. No named application service is used; applicants apply directly to Burman (Albertans via ApplyAlberta, others via Burman's own form). No programme-specific deadlines were found for Education, Music, or other majors beyond this general international documents deadline. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
