What it is	Psychology is the study of how people think, behave, and develop across their lifespan. At Windsor, you'll focus on real-world applications in areas like child development, disability support, and social work, with the option to complete paid work terms through the co-op program. This suits students who want to understand human behaviour while building practical experience in helping professions.	This program teaches you how people think, behave, and interact — the science behind psychology. You'll study psychological theories and research methods alongside related fields like sociology and social work, giving you a broad understanding of human behaviour and society. It suits students curious about why people do what they do and interested in careers involving counselling, research, or social services.	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.
