Nipissing University's Psychology program lets you investigate these fascinating questions and more. From examining brain tissue to mastering psychotherapy techniques, our comprehensive program has everything you need. Our distinguished, grant-winning faculty frequently invite undergraduates to participate in their research labs, giving students precious hands-on experience that enhances their coursework and readies them for professional paths or advanced studies. Nipissing's smaller campus creates significant benefits for students, offering abundant involvement opportunities without compromising academic breadth. Our Psychology Department delivers a complete curriculum spanning all key aspects of the field.
At Nipissing University, Psychology students can select between Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree paths. The primary distinction lies in elective choices: BA candidates select from humanities and social sciences (such as English, Philosophy, or Sociology), while BSc students focus on science electives (including Biology, Chemistry, or Physics). The BSc pathway allows students to pursue a Neuroscience Certificate by combining specific courses with an Honours thesis in Neuroscience. Meanwhile, the BA program provides a specialized certificate in Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder.
