What it isPsychology is the study of how people think, feel, and behave — from memory and learning to relationships and mental health. A BA focuses on theory and research methods rather than clinical training, so you'll read studies, run experiments, and write essays more than you would in applied health programs. It suits students curious about human nature who want a broad foundation before deciding whether to specialize later in counselling, research, business, or other fields.You study how the human mind works and how the brain produces behaviour, emotion, and thought. This program combines psychology — the study of behaviour and mental processes — with neuroscience, which looks at the brain's biology and chemistry. It suits people curious about why people think and act as they do, and who want to understand the physical basis of the mind.You study the science of living systems — cells, organisms, genetics, and disease — with flexible depth depending on which specialization you choose. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, building real experience alongside your degree. This stream suits students drawn to biology and chemistry who want either a traditional path or the chance to test careers in health and life sciences before graduating.A Bachelor of Science (General) lets you study science broadly across biology, chemistry, environmental science, and related fields, choosing your own mix of courses rather than specializing deeply in one area. Unlike an honours program, it gives you flexibility to explore multiple sciences without committing to a single major or meeting the tighter requirements of a specialized stream. This suits students who are curious about science in general but aren't yet sure which direction appeals to them most.
