Program details

Overview

This specialization within the Bachelor of Arts in Educational Psychology (Honours) examines how people grow, learn and adapt across the lifespan, with particular attention to human development in children and youth. It covers typical and atypical developmental trajectories and the interplay of individual differences and environmental factors, and includes application of digital technology and inquiry-based learning to early literacy, numeracy and holistic development. Coursework also addresses maker pedagogies, including digital coding, to support creativity and critical thinking in young learners across formal and informal settings. The four-year Honours Bachelor of Arts is delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus with a September start, and includes experiential learning components such as work terms, internships, practicum placements and an undergraduate thesis or research study.

Preference is given to applicants with the strongest qualifications. Separate admission routes apply for Ontario secondary school graduates, out-of-province and international applicants, mature applicants, transfer applicants, General Arts and Science (GAS) applicants and home-schooled applicants.
