PSYCHOLOGY

Honours Bachelor of Applied Science in Psychology
General Arts and Science Diploma

Understanding why people do the things they do is a goal that has been at the core of the science of psychology for many years. As access to intellectual resources increases for the general public, there is an increasing demand for knowledge-based individuals who understand the foundations of human thought and behaviour. In the Psychology program you will examine theories and research based on the biological and social models of human behaviour and cognition. You will explore how individuals utilize critical thinking skills, and how awareness of psychological development and practices can improve those skills to increase individual success and overcome personal challenges.

In this program  you will be able to select electives related to your own professional and academic preferences from a broad range of offered courses available at the University of Guelph-Humber.

Upon completion of the Psychology program, you will receive a university honours degree which will prepare you for your professional career or advanced study at the postgraduate level.

The Applied Study in Psychology combines academic study with a minimum of 60 hours of workplace experience in a volunteer or work setting.
