Program details

Overview

This programme leads to a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Guelph, also offered as a Bachelor of Science major and, in a General programme format, as an area of concentration. Coursework covers diverse perspectives on human behaviour, including learning, perception, cognition and clinical psychology, taught through lectures, experiments, projects and co-op placements. The Honours major requires 9.00 credits in Psychology, taken within the standard eight-semester, four-year full-time course of study used across University of Guelph Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programmes, which totals 20.00 credits including distribution requirements; a co-op option extends the programme to four years with three work terms. Students on the Honours Thesis stream complete an undergraduate research thesis across two courses in their final year. Graduates pursue careers and further study in clinical, counselling, research and health-related psychology fields.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Bachelor of Arts admits Ontario secondary-school applicants who present English (ENG4U) plus five additional Grade 12 4U or 4M courses, six 4U/M courses in total. This requirement covers the Bachelor of Arts General and every B.A. major other than Economics and Quantitative Economics and Finance, including Anthropology, Art History, Music, Philosophy, Political Science and Psychology. The admission average is calculated from these six courses under the current Ontario Secondary School Curriculum; if two completed courses are judged equivalent (for example, legacy OAC English alongside 4U English), only one counts toward the average, and the non-academic component of 4U/M co-op courses is excluded entirely. Applicants intending Anthropology, Political Science, Psychology or another Social Science major are additionally encouraged, though not required, to complete a 4U Mathematics course among their five additional courses.
