What you study	Psychology	Psychology Sport & Exercise Science	Anthropology Economics Health Informatics Human Geography
What it is	You study human behaviour, thinking, and mental health through research, theory, and practical observation. This honours program includes a co-op option, meaning you alternate between classroom semesters and work terms at organizations like clinics, research labs, or social agencies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. It suits people curious about why people act and think as they do, who want hands-on workplace experience before deciding on a psychology career path.	You study both how to teach junior and intermediate students and how psychology applies to sport and athletic performance. This concurrent program lets you earn your teaching credential while specializing in sport psychology rather than completing a general teacher education route. It suits people who want to teach physical education or health class and understand the mental side of athletic development.	Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.
