Bachelor of Arts - Psychology (Optional Co-op)

Psychology delves into what makes people tick. Psychologists study the relationship between mind and behaviour by investigating the nature of thought processes and behaviours in humans and other animals.

Psychologists also study the evolutionary, social and cultural factors affecting the development of human thoughts and behaviours, focusing on topics that have a direct bearing on day-to-day experiences. A major in Psychology will help students develop skills in analyzing and interpreting complex material, particularly as it relates to behaviour. Students will learn theories of how people interpret the world and act in it, as well as theories of human behaviour. Psychology students will learn from those at the forefront of psychological research. The faculty members are regularly published in the top journals and make an ongoing contribution to an ever-advancing field. Students will inevitably become savvy and critical consumers of evidence-based information related to people’s behaviour such as self-help, psychological and medical advice.
