BA/BS in Psychology is a bachelor's degree in Psychology programme offered by Mount Allison University in Sackville, Canada. The programme is delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 22,890 per year (CAD 11,350 per year for local students).
Psychology at Mount Allison University is the scientific study of mind and behaviour, aiming to describe, explain, and predict how people think and act. The degree can be taken as a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science, each available as a major or honours, combining core psychology credits with a set of complementary arts or science courses, and a minor is open to students in any degree. The curriculum spans developmental, biological, neurological, cognitive, social, personality, abnormal, learning, and health psychology, with room for directed studies, independent research, and honours thesis work alongside more specialized courses such as forensic and sport psychology. Delivery is on-campus in Sackville, New Brunswick, supported by active faculty-led research programs and dedicated lab space, including facilities focused on stress and health, sexual health, personality, and neuroscience. Students can join research through faculty supervision, summer research awards, or lab-based volunteer work. The program suits students interested in understanding human behaviour scientifically, whether heading toward clinical psychology, counselling, research, education, human resources, or fields such as law enforcement and policy analysis.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Psychology's programme page sets no academic prerequisites of its own for a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science and defers to Mount Allison's general admission requirements. There, decisions weigh the whole applicant — academic record, leadership, level of commitment, and potential for personal growth — with the specific courses and grades required varying by the applicant's province or country and prior education. Applicants whose language of instruction was not English must meet Mount Allison's English proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 with at least 20 in each of Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing (PTE Academic 60 with no score below 51, CAEL CE 70 with no part below 60, Cambridge English B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 with no band below 169, and Duolingo English Test 110 are also accepted). Three years of Canadian secondary schooling, or 30+ credit hours at an English-medium post-secondary institution, can also satisfy it; applicants short only on language may receive conditional admission through the university's English Summer Pathway Program.
