Learn How Individuals Develop, Function and Change

Our Psychology program is growing fast! There is so much to explore in this diverse field that ranges from the study of microscopic brain cells to how groups influence our thoughts and behaviours. You will learn foundational topics in psychology and investigate them using standard research methods and statistical tests. We will journey together as you learn more about yourself and others from a psychological perspective. As you learn about yourself and others, together we will cultivate a Christ-like commitment to the common good and respect for human life.

Interested in how humans develop from the womb to old age, why you believe what you believe, the impact of stress on mental well-being, or how psychology intersects with the criminal justice system? Then the psychology program is for you! Depending on your career goals, you can choose between the three-year or four-year Bachelor of Arts with a Psychology Major.

Are you also interested in biology and the intersection of the sciences and social sciences? There is no need to choose between the two! You can pursue the four-year Bachelor of Science with a Biology-Psychology Major.
