Program Overview

This program is the first four-year undergraduate honours degree in Canada that provides a comprehensive program of study in the rapidly growing field of Behavioural Psychology.

You will graduate with in-depth theoretical, conceptual and applied knowledge in the field of behavioural psychology.
