The Bachelor of Science in Psychology, offered through the University of Calgary's Faculty of Arts, covers the biological, cognitive, emotional, and social bases of behaviour. Coursework includes Developmental Psychology, History of Psychological Thought, Psychology of Brain and Behaviour, Social Psychology, and Principles of Psychology, and students build skills in written and verbal communication, statistical analysis, research methods, and critical thinking. Students can gain research experience by volunteering in faculty laboratories or through dedicated research courses. A combined-degree option allows students to complete both the BSc in Psychology and a Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation within five years. The program is based on the university's Calgary campus and has a competitive admission average in the low nineties, requiring English Language Arts, Math 30-1, and additional approved courses depending on educational background. It suits students interested in understanding human behaviour across biological, cognitive, and social dimensions, and can lead to careers in the civil service, non-profit organizations, and business, or to graduate study and professional programs such as law, medicine, or education.
