Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Psychology

These are just a few of the questions you can explore when studying Psychology at Nipissing University. 

Whether working on brain tissue or learning about psychotherapy, Nipissing’s Psychology program has you covered. 

Award-winning and funded Professors regularly encourage undergraduate students to join their lab groups. 

This provides students with invaluable research experience that helps them engage with their courses and prepare for future careers or graduate studies. 

Nipissing University’s relatively small size provides a huge advantage for students in terms of increased opportunities to get involved while not sacrificing course offerings. 

The Psychology Department offers a full slate of courses that cover all major discipline areas.

Students can choose between the Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree programs when studying Psychology at Nipissing University. 

The main difference between the two-degree options is in the electives you choose. 

BA students will take humanities and social science elective courses (e.g., English, Philosophy, Criminal Justice, Sociology, and History), while BSc students will take electives from the sciences (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics). 

The BSc program offers the possibility of adding a Certificate in Neuroscience when certain courses are combined with an Honours thesis in a Neuroscience area. 

The BA program offers a Certificate in Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention – Autism Spectrum Disorder.​
