At Acadia, our goal is to help you become discerning evaluators of information while developing your own research skills. You'll engage in practical psychological research from the early stages of your program. We maintain small class sizes, capping lab courses at 35 students and advanced seminars at 20. This fosters close relationships between students, faculty, and peers.
The psychology program offers both Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) options, with identical admission and major requirements for each. Regardless of your choice, you'll have the freedom to complement your major with electives that align with your interests and professional aspirations. You may opt for a minor or even pursue a second major in nearly any other field.
