Undergraduate Programs in Psychology
We provide students with a fundamental understanding of the field of psychology, including its value as a scientific method for understanding human behavior and solving social and behavioral challenges.
Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
In addition to classes in the main sub-disciplines of psychology (e.g., cognitive, developmental, clinical, and social), there are opportunities for study outside the classroom through research experiences and internships.
An undergraduate degree in psychology can lead to careers in human resources, non-profit management, mental health services, and research. Some students who graduate from our undergraduate program pursue graduate studies in psychology or counselling, while others may continue their education by exploring social work, law, education, or medicine.
