Are you fascinated by human behaviour? Do you want to learn more about why people feel and act the way they do? Psychologists explain, predict, and even modify behaviours.
Students have the option to major in psychology through the Science degree program (BSc) or the Arts degree program (BA) at Saint Mary’s. The Major requirements in both programs are the same, and students may take the same psychology courses through either program. However, the B.A. and B.Sc. programs have differing required and elective courses as outlined in the academic calendar.

Last year, Psychology students hosted the 26th Annual Student Conference, where they had the opportunity to present their research. In addition, some students went on international exchanges for credit in China, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Arctic.
