Bachelor of Arts


Bachelor of Science


  • B.Sc. (General)

  • B.Sc. (Honours)

The main difference between a B.A. and a B.Sc. is that the electives you must take will be in the faculty you apply to, and you must contact advisors through your home faculty. (e.g., you must adhere to the Faculty of Science degree requirements and take their electives if you are a B.Sc. Psychology student.)

Both the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science offer Co-operative Education Programs.

To declare a Psychology minor, you must have 18 credit hours approved by the Faculty of Arts.
