When you choose psychology
On the application or after — the Bachelor of Arts (PA, 70% minimum) is a genuinely undeclared door, and you choose a major from the twenty inside it.
What to watch for
Psychology is a major inside both the Bachelor of Arts (PA) and the Bachelor of Science (PS) — Nipissing's page lists it as 'Degree type: Bachelor of Arts', 'Available as: Honours Specialization, Specialization, Major, Minor'. Pick the degree, then the major. Nipissing admits to the Bachelor of Arts as one OUAC code, PA, at a 70% minimum, and nearly every arts major is chosen inside it rather than applied to separately. Only Criminal Justice (PAJ) and History with Orientation to a Master's (PAH, 80%, limited enrolment) have their own codes. Nipissing's own concurrent-education listings describe the BA entry as 'Undeclared'.
