Program overview
A four year psychology degree taken within a science structure, weighting research methods, statistics, biological psychology and experimental design more heavily than the arts equivalent, with laboratory work throughout.
Applicants should choose deliberately between the two psychology degrees offered here. The science route builds the quantitative and laboratory grounding that graduate psychology admissions committees assess most closely, while the arts route allows broader humanities breadth. Both cost the same and both are full degrees awarded at this institution.
Bachelor of Science in Psychology is a degree, so it is exempt from the field of study requirement entirely. The institution records CIP code 42.0101 for Bachelor of Science in Psychology, which is informational rather than determinative. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a partner should plan on a single income.
