Bachelor of Science in Psychology (Honours)

York University

The field of psychology is dedicated to the scientific study of behaviour including thought, feeling and action, and viewed from social, developmental and biological perspectives. You can study virtually all of the areas of psychology as our program offers the largest variety and diversity of courses of any psychology program in Canada. We provide learning opportunities and research experience in many different areas of Psychology including developmental and social psychology, abnormal psychology and counseling, behavioural and cognitive neuroscience, history and theory, statistics and quantitative methods, as well as explore a wide variety of topics ranging from personality, memory, learning, intelligence, motivation, psychological disorders, biological basis of behaviour, bullying, perception, perfectionism, empathy, cognition, culture, child development and much, much more.The BSc and BA in Psychology have the exact same core Psychology course requirements. However, a BSc student also has additional math, science, and computer science requirements outside of their Psychology courses while a BA student does not. This means that a BA student may have more space in their schedule to take additional electives, such as in the humanities or social sciences.
