BS/BA in Psychology in Canada at SMU

Program Overview for BS/BA in Psychology in Canada:

Are you fascinated by human behavior? Do you want to know more about why people feel and behave this way? Psychologists explain, predict, and even change behavior.

Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science?

Students may choose to major in psychology through St. Mary's College's Bachelor of Science (BSc) Program or Bachelor of Art (BA) Program. The professional requirements of the two projects are the same, and students can study the same psychology courses through either project. However, the undergraduate and undergraduate courses have different compulsory and elective courses, as described in the academic calendar.

The Saint Mary’s approach

With small class sizes and energetic, student-centered teachers, our students learn and work in a supportive atmosphere that encourages real-world experiences. With an active student club and one of the largest enrollment programs on campus. Our department is also recognized as an outstanding industrial/organizational psychology leader in East Montreal and is home to only a few legal psychology professors in the maritime area.

Hands-on learning

We have approximately 100 undergraduates and faculty participating in research and another 50 serving as teaching assistants at any given time. Students can also participate in our cooperative projects, participate in regional conferences or study abroad to achieve diversified learning. 

Last year, psychology students held the 26th Annual Student Conference, where they could present their research results. In addition, some students go to China, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the Arctic for international exchange of credits.
