| Description | Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science Psychology degree program will develop a strong theoretical knowledge of psychology as an academic discipline, focusing on the scientific method of observation, data gathering, analysis and interpretation. The program provides supervised application of psychological principles with clients in social service/mental health settings. Students will be prepared for pursuing graduate study in psychology and meeting the requirements of the Alberta College of Psychologists. Areas of study include the biological, cognitive/ affective, and social bases of behaviour and individual differences. An emphasis on statistics and research methodology give students a strong base for research and advanced study. Students who later complete a Masters degree would be eligible to complete the requirements to become a chartered psychologist.
The Three-year BSc concentration in Psychology is designed for those students who wish to pursue professional school such as medicine, health sciences, law, management science, mediation or alternatively to work in rural mental health services. Students who plan to attend graduate school in Psychology would be strongly advised to take the Bachelor of Science degree.
