Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Arts in Psychology is available as an Honours Specialization, Specialization, Major, or Minor, delivered full-time or part-time with intakes in fall, winter, and spring/summer. Students build a foundation across cognitive, developmental, social, clinical, personality, and biological psychology before choosing one of three streams: Education, focused on child development, learning, and behaviour analysis; Mental Health, covering disorders, assessment, and counselling; or Experimental, centred on research methods, cognition, perception, and social behaviour. The program offers faculty-led research opportunities, experiential learning through internships and community placements, laboratory work, and an undergraduate thesis option, alongside related certificates in Applied Behavioural Sciences, Early Intervention, and Program Evaluation and Applied Research. It suits students curious about human behaviour and development who want a mix of theory, research, and applied experience. Graduates pursue roles in education, mental health services such as counselling, research and data analysis, and human resources or organizational development.
