Why complete a B.A. with a major in Psychology?
Both the three-year and the four-year Bachelor of Arts with a major in Psychology provide a breadth of exposure to the humanities, sciences, and social sciences, and include significant depth in Psychology.  These degrees prepare students well for any area of employment or vocation with valuable skills—communication, writing, analytical, critical thinking, and organizing. A three- or a four-year B.A. in Psychology also serves as a sound basis for launching into professional studies such as clinical or school psychology, research, social work, law, and so on.

Why complete a four-year rather than a three-year degree?
The three-year Psychology major has been designed for students with a general interest in human behaviour. The four-year major has been designed for students planning long-term work with people or further study and research in the field of psychology. Students may build upon its requirements with courses that either focus on theoretical knowledge or on practical knowledge and skills.
 
Why complete a minor in Psychology?
The minor requires 18 credit hours and can fit alongside a major in any field, whether in the three-year or the four-year Bachelor of Arts.  The student is given the opportunity to gain a broad understanding of Psychology through the required introductory courses, and then may explore a variety of topics, according to their interest. Through a minor in Psychology, a student can gain valuable secondary competencies, applicable in almost any vocation, but especially relevant beside a major in Communications, Business, International Development Studies, or Peace & Conflict Transformation Studies.
