The Department of Psychology offers four-year programs of study leading to a BA (Honours) Psychology, a BA with Major Psychology, and a three-year BA Pass degree program. Programs are designed to provide students with a broad introduction to the field of psychology including research methodology, psychological theory and application. In addition, the 20-credit degree programs give students the opportunity to prepare for admission to professional and advanced degree training in a variety of fields. Students interested in pursuing graduate study specifically in psychology should complete the Honours program.

The requirements for graduation with a BA (Honours) are a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. The requirements for a BA with Major and a Pass BA are a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

Students wishing to major in Psychology must apply to declare their major. Declaration of major forms are available in the Registrar's Office and on-line at http://www.brocku.ca/registrar/forms/index.html. The Department believes that a broadly based liberal arts and science background is appropriate in conjunction with a major in Psychology. It isrequired that Honours students acquire some background in other disciplines as part of their undergraduate program by taking elective courses in areas outside of Psychology. Students wishing to pursue an Honours degree must complete a PSYC 4F90-4F91 Application. Applications are available in the Department of Psychology. See the Psychology Major's Manual at http://www.psyc.brocku.ca/undergrad for more information.

Psychology Co-op Program (Honours and 4 Year BA with Major)

The Psychology Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a five-year period. Students spend two years in an academic setting studying the core concepts of psychology prior to taking the first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Psychology Co-op students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees).

Eligibility to continue is based on the student's major average and non-major average. A student with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average will be permitted to continue. A student with a major average lower than 70 percent will not be permitted to continue in the Psychology Co-op program. If a student subsequently raises his/her major average to 70 percent, the student may be readmitted only if approved by the Co-op Admission Committee.

The Psychology Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have completed a four-year degree (Honours or BA with Major) and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience.

Behavioural Science Technology

The Behavioural Science Technology program involves courses offered through Brock and St. Lawrence College of Applied Arts and Technology. This four-year program combines training in behavioural science with an education in Psychology. The program caters to individuals who wish to have a career that involves encouraging behaviour change in areas such as counselling, addictions, autism, and corrections. The program allows students to gain both solid applied skills in these areas, and a strong theoretical knowledge about a variety of these topics. Gaining both a degree and this diploma would ordinarily involve attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and St. Lawrence program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Enrolment is limited.

Human Services Counselling

The Human Services Counselling program involves courses offered through Brock and Durham College of Applied Arts and Technology. This four-year program combines training in a variety of counselling settings with an education in Psychology. The program caters to individuals who wish to have a career in a wide variety of social service settings, including those associated with mental health, criminal justice, social justice, addictions, education and gerontology. The program allows students to gain both solid applied skills in these areas, and a strong theoretical knowledge about a variety of these topics. Gaining both a degree and this diploma would ordinarily involve attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and Durham program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Enrolment is limited.

Policing and Criminal Justice

The Policing and Criminal Justice program involves courses offered through Brock and Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology. This four-year program combines training in policing and criminal justice with an education in a chosen academic discipline, which may be either Human Geography, Psychology, Political Science or Sociology. For students majoring in Psychology, this four-year program leads to a BA with Major and a diploma in Police Foundations from Niagara College. The program caters to the increasing demand in society for professionals who possess both solid applied skills and the substantive knowledge needed to apply them to the areas of policing and criminal justice. This would ordinarily involve attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and Niagara program combines the two in a single integrated package. Consult the Collaborative Studies in Policing and Criminal Justice listing for further details. Enrolment is limited.

Social Service Worker

The Social Service Worker Program involves courses offered through Brock University and Sheridan College of Applied Arts and Technology. This four-year program combines training in a variety of applied social service settings at Sheridan College with a Four Year BA with Major Psychology at Brock. Students can obtain both solid applied skills and a strong theoretical foundation in a variety of aspects of social services. The program leads to career opportunities in a wide variety of areas including youth worker, assistants for developmentally challenged individuals, counsellor in a variety of group home and mental health settings, and acting as an advocate or counsellor in crisis centres or centres for women. Obtaining both a Four Year BA with Major Psychology and a college diploma would ordinarily involve at least five years of study, but this Brock-Sheridan collaborative program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Enrolment is limited.

Yukon College Exchange and Degree Completion Program

This collaborative program allows Yukon College students to attend Brock University upon completion of the first two years of their studies in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. This program also allows Brock students to attend Yukon College to complete the second year of their studies. Students completing their degree upon transfer to Brock University will complete 3.0 third-year PSYC credits (including PSYC 3P30), 3.0 fourth-year PSYC credits and 4.0 elective credits. At least 3.0 elective credits must be chosen from courses numbered 2(alpha)00 or higher. These courses can be taken in any of the following terms, as long as all course requirements are met by the end of the spring term following Year Three. Yukon College students may also complete up to two credits on Letter of Permission from a recognized Canadian University. This curriculum can be completed in fourteen months if students begin taking courses in the Spring Term after they have completed Year Two of their studies at Yukon College. Students can complete either an Honours BA or a Four Year BA with a Major in Psychology. This program also allows Brock students attending Year Two at Yukon College to complete a combination of Psychology, Math and elective courses that are equivalent to the second-year program at Brock. Students will then return to Brock to complete the final two years of their studies. Students can complete an Honours BA or a Four Year BA with Major Psychology.
