What it is	You study how people think, feel, and behave — their minds, emotions, and actions. The BA program focuses on the human and social side of psychology, while the BSc program emphasizes biology and scientific methods, requiring stronger math and science foundations. This suits you if you're curious about why people do what they do and want either a broader social science education or a research-focused scientific approach.	This program trains you to teach junior and intermediate students (roughly grades 4 to 10) by combining a university degree in arts subjects with teacher education coursework. You study one or two arts subjects like English, history, or psychology while also taking education courses that teach you how to plan lessons, manage a classroom, and assess student learning. It suits people who want to teach a specific subject and earn a teaching credential in four years rather than doing a separate degree first.	This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization.
