Overview

Bachelor of Arts, Major in Psychology

Psychology is the scientific study of thoughts, feelings, actions, perceptions, physiological and neurological responses, and other behaviours in animals and humans.

As both a scientific discipline and a profession, psychology relates to virtually every aspect of people's lives. 

Through research, psychology plays an integral role in understanding and predicting human behaviour. Through clinical practice, psychology strives to help people live more productive and fulfilling lives.

The Department of Psychology offers a variety of courses and the option of obtaining a major, minor or Honours in psychology as part of the Bachelor of Arts degree.

Experience small class sizes and engaging opportunities at Thompson Rivers University

To better understand the fascinating field of psychology, first-year students participate in research studies conducted by upper-year students and faculty. 

Upper-year students have the opportunity to conduct research in the Honours program by taking Directed studies courses or getting involved in faculty research as research assistants and volunteers. 

Because employers want entry-level candidates with some work experience, you have opportunities in undergraduate research, co-op work placements, practicums, field schools, service-learning and study abroad.
