Program overview
Bachelor of Arts - Psychology is a four year honours route at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. The Bachelor of Arts - Psychology curriculum covers developmental, cognitive, social and biological psychology, abnormal psychology, research design and statistical analysis across four years.
Studied as a single major rather than inside a dual degree, Bachelor of Arts - Psychology gives students the full depth of the subject and room for electives across the faculty. Taking Bachelor of Arts - Psychology on its own carries one implication worth stating. Psychology is the most popular undergraduate subject in Canada, so the a second specialisation or a graduate route later pairing is what turns a common degree into a distinctive one, which is worth weighing before choosing Bachelor of Arts - Psychology over a dual route.
As a degree level award, Bachelor of Arts - Psychology sits outside the field of study rules, which removes the CIP check that non degree applicants must complete. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Arts - Psychology with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Arts - Psychology in writing before you pay a deposit.
