Psychology — 4-year 2026/2027

4. Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behaviour—thinking, feeling, acting. Students of psychology study the human experience and explore the phenomena of learning, development, personality, language, emotions, memory, and social interactions. Our 4-year Psychology degree program provides broad foundational knowledge, enabling student/graduates to be more authoritative thinkers, and more qualified users of psychological theory and research, while deepening their insights into their own and other’s behaviour. Insights into human behaviour, thoughts, and emotions, are valuable in many career paths including social services, business, law, and education.

Our 4-year Psychology degree provides greater opportunities to more widely and deeply explore certain aspects of psychology than our 3-year program. This includes enhanced learning in statistics and research methodology. Individualized independent studies in supervised research, and specialized courses in psychological assessment, along with capstone courses, are all more feasible within our 4-year Psychology degree. Students considering continued/graduate studies, particularly in Psychology, either research-focused, or clinical/counseling-focused, are strongly encouraged to consider this 4-year degree program or our 4-year Applied Emphasis psychology degree program.
