Overview

Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

The psychology program continues to be one of the University’s most popular programs. The small classes ultimately provide students with individual attention and a more personal student-professor relationship.

The university's psychology program offers two different degrees, tailored to the student's strengths and interests. 

The Bachelor of Science (BSc four-year) degree requires students to complete a greater number of biological-based courses compared to the Bachelor of Arts (BA four-year) degree.

In addition to the standard courses on methodology that are required for a psychology degree, the university offers courses on a wide range of topics in psychology

The majority of courses fall under one of two broadly-based categories: those that focus on the social bases of behaviour, and those that focus on the biological bases of behaviour

While it is widely known that psychology can involve the identification of, and counseling for, abnormal thoughts and behaviors, there are many other areas of psychology.

Algoma University teaches you how to be dedicated, motivated, and to think critically about scientific data, human and non-human behaviour, and science in general. 

These are skills that are in demand by many prospective employers. Many former students have continued with higher education at the graduate level, earning Masters and PhD degrees

The fourth-year thesis course allows students to select a topic of their choice, conduct an extensive review of literature, design their own experiments, collect and analyze data, and present their research at the Algoma University Annual Psychology Thesis Conference.
