Program Details

Psychology - Arts School: Algoma University Faculty: Arts Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Psychology, General Description: Our psychology program provides many different courses[link], enabling students to select the courses that are most applicable to their interests and future goals. Many of our psychology graduates have furthered their studies at the Master’s and Ph.D. levels, have been accepted into teaching programs, and have gained employment in their fields of interest. This has been in part due to our 4th year thesis course; this is an independent study course which allows the student to select a topic of their choice, conduct an extensive review of the background literature pertaining to that topic, design their own experiment, collect and analyze data, and present their research at the Algoma University Annual Psychology Thesis Conference[link to pics]. This experience at Algoma University differs from other universities because at Algoma U, you get to select the topic and design your own study, whereas at larger institutions you are typically “assigned to” a study already underway or planned in a research laboratory. At Algoma University, the thesis experience is thoroughly enjoyed by our students, provides the training and skills necessary for future success in many fields, and completes the requirement for an Honours degree in psychology.
