Academic Programs
Students can pursue two distinct Bachelor of Arts majors: Psychology or Applied Psychology. We additionally provide a Bachelor of Science option through our Neuroscience program.
All students begin in the Major track. High-achieving candidates maintaining an 80% overall average and at least 75% in methodology/statistics courses may qualify for the Honours program. This advanced track features faculty-mentored independent research projects, particularly valuable for graduate school preparation.
Québec DEC holders with relevant preparation typically complete Major or Honours requirements in three years, while Grade 12 entrants generally require four years for program completion.
