Bachelor of Arts - Psychology

Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior, examining both the biological and social reasons why humans act the way they do. It is also one of the more popular subjects to study as an undergraduate student, which means that most universities offer psychology courses. Psychology at the Mount is different than it can be at other schools, for three big reasons: • Personalized education: Every student in the program has an academic advisor. The advisor will answer student's questions about course selection, degree requirements, graduate study opportunities and more. • Program flexibility: Students can choose to complete a major in Psychology in either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science. The main difference between the two options is the subject in which the minor is completed. • Hands-on research: Employers and graduate programs are looking for people with experience outside of the traditional lecture setting. MSVU offers hands-on experience with research through higher-level classes, directed studies, and honours thesis projects.
