Program Options
Connecting university research to the non-academic world is important to people both inside and outside the ivory tower. Community organizations gain access to new methods, tools, insights, and talent through collaborating with universities, and academic researchers ensure the knowledge they generate is informed by and has direct applications to the world outside their field.
Program Overview
Begin your program with PSYC 101 and PSYC 102, two of the most popular courses on campus and your introduction to the discipline. In second year, enrol in PSYC 217 and PSYC 218 by declaring your Major (specialization) in Student Workday [Login with your Campus-wide Login (CWL)].
