Program Details

Psychology (B.Sc.) School: University of Toronto - Scarborough Faculty: Psychology Degree: Bachelor ; Co-op ; Honours Field of Study: Psychology, General Description: Psychology is that branch of science which seeks to understand behaviour and mind. Why organisms - human and infrahuman - act as they do is one of the most compelling and longstanding questions in the history of human thought. Psychology uses the methods of scientific enquiry to address the question. The areas of interest encompassed by the discipline of psychology include: How humans learn, adapt, and remember; how they change over their lifetimes; how they are affected by the presence of others; and how their behaviour relates to their physiological functions. The work experience provided by the program enables students to explore career opportunities relevant to their studies in psychology. Completion of the program does not, however, represent a professional qualification in psychology, which requires further study at the graduate level. Work settings may also provide students with the opportunity to observe psychologists interacting with other professionals, hence providing a broader and more informed basis for the selection of a post graduate program appropriate to the student's talents and interests. Some work settings will provide the opportunity for participation in basic or applied research. The University of Toronto does not offer a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Psychology. Co-op Psychology is offered as a Specialist Program.
