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. 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 that allow collaboration with faculty in the department’s research laboratories, as well as a field practicum class that allows students to earn course credit through internships with community agencies.
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.
