About the program

The field of psychology investigates the interaction between the mind and behaviours in humans. Students intrigued by what influences behaviour, how behaviour is modified, and the different perspectives to understand this process will have their curiosity rewarded in the Psychology profile. Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of psychology and will be given the freedom to explore several specialized fields, including but not limited to sports psychology, developmental psychology, human sexuality and social psychology. At the same time, students will acquire core social science and research methodology skills, preparing them for eventual university study.

This option is for students interested in furthering their studies in Psychology at the university level. As part of the Social Science program, the Psychology profile satisfies the requirements for most Bachelor of Arts university programs. Students considering careers in counselling, communication, social work, human relations and public relations will benefit from expanding their knowledge of psychology.

Students who complete this profile may also apply to university programs such as Anthropology, Sociology, History, Education and Law.
