What it is	Psychology at Brock is a broad study of how people think, feel, and behave. You'll learn about the brain, emotions, learning, relationships, and mental health through lectures, labs, and research. This program includes a co-op option, letting you work in clinical settings, schools, or research labs while you study, which gives you real-world experience alongside your degree.	You study how to teach physical education and health to high school students, combining education theory with the science of human movement and fitness. Unlike a standard bachelor of education, this concurrent program integrates your teaching credentials with specialized knowledge in exercise physiology and sport science from the start, so you graduate ready to teach those specific subjects. This suits people who want to coach or teach PE/health at the secondary level and prefer learning subject content alongside teaching methods rather than studying them separately.	Educational psychology combines the study of how people learn with the science of human behaviour and thinking. You'll examine theories about memory, motivation, and development, then apply them to real classroom and learning situations. This program suits students interested in understanding why people struggle or succeed in school, and who might pursue teaching, curriculum design, counselling, or educational research.	You study the science of human movement and fitness combined with teaching and coaching methods. This program integrates exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport psychology with practical skills in coaching athletes and leading fitness programs. Unlike a pure kinesiology degree, this one prepares you directly for careers coaching teams or instructing fitness classes. It suits people who want to work in sports, recreation, or wellness settings and learn both the scientific reasoning and hands-on teaching side.
