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 course variety. 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 (including English, Philosophy, Criminal Justice, Sociology, and History), while BSc students focus on science electives (such as Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics). The BSc pathway allows students to earn a Neuroscience Certificate by combining specific courses with an Honours thesis in Neuroscience. BA students can pursue a Certificate in Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder.
