This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Forensic Psychology over four years, delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus, intersecting the study of psychology and justice by applying psychological principles and scientific methods to criminal behaviour and the judicial system. Students study core areas of psychology including social, cognitive, developmental and abnormal psychology, plus research methods and data analysis, and take forensic psychology courses applying psychology to crime, policing, the courts and corrections. The curriculum also draws on criminology, legal studies, health and neuroscience. Students have access to the Forensic Psychology Laboratories and the Social Science Library. A limited number of fourth-year students can complete a 100-hour practicum with a community organization, combining fieldwork, in-class seminars and academic assignments. It suits students aiming at careers such as mental health technician, psychologist, child and youth worker, corrections officer, law enforcement officer, probation manager, or residential youth counsellor.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Tech University states no admission requirements specific to Forensic Psychology beyond the OSSD prerequisites it lists and its general English proficiency policy. Applicants need the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/4M credits, including English (ENG4U); it is recommended that applicants also take Biology (SBI4U) and one of Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or Mathematics of Data Management (MDM4U). Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimums does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, or an IB Diploma or certificate with a minimum grade of 4 in English A, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins in September and January.
