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.

Students wishing to major in Psychology must apply to declare their major. Declare or Change Major forms are available in the Registrar's Office and online at brocku.ca/registrar/forms. The Department believes that a broadly-based liberal arts and science background is appropriate in conjunction with a major in Psychology. It is required 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 4F91 Application. Applications are available in the Department of Psychology.

Students wishing to take PSYC 3F40 and 3P39 require a minimum 77 percent major average. Students wishing to take PSYC 4F91, 4P93 and 4P95 require a minimum 80 percent major average.

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.

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.

All students in the Co-operative Education program are required to read, sign and adhere to the terms of the Student Regulations Waiver and Co-op Student Manual (brocku.ca/co-op/current-students/co-op-student-manuals) as articulated by the Co-op Programs Office. In addition, eligibility to continue in the co-op option is based on the student's major average and non-major average, and the ability to demonstrate the motivation and potential to pursue a professional career.

Each four-month co-operative education work term must be registered. Once students are registered in a co-op work term, they are expected to fulfill their commitment. If the placement accepted is for more than one four-month work term, students are committed to complete all terms. Students may not withdraw from or terminate a work term without permission from the Director, Co-op Program Office.

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.

Policing and Criminal Justice-Niagara College
The Policing and Criminal Justice program involves courses offered through Brock University and Niagara College. This four-year program combines training in policing and criminal justice with an education in a chosen academic discipline, which may be Communication Studies, Human Geography, Psychology, Political Science or Sociology. Upon successful completion of the program, students majoring in Political Science and Sociology will receive an Honours BA degree from Brock and a Police Foundations diploma from Niagara College. Upon successful completion of the program, students majoring in Psychology will receive a BA with Major degree from Brock and a Police Foundations diploma 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. Applicants must have a minimum 70 percent overall average to be considered for admission to the program. Volunteering experience is considered an asset. Successful applicants must maintain a minimum 70 percent overall average during Year 2 and meet other program requirements to continue in the program. Enrolment in this program is limited. Admission to the program is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirements. Application forms for the Policing and Criminal Justice program are available from the Office of the Dean of Social Sciences.

Please consult the Policing and Criminal Justice entry for a listing of program requirements.

Social Service Worker-Durham College
This Social Service Worker program involves courses offered through Brock University and Durham College. This four-year program combines training in a variety of counselling settings with an education in Psychology. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a BA with Major Psychology degree from Brock and a Social Service Worker diploma from Durham College. The program caters to individuals who wish to have a career in a wide variety of counseling and 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 a college diploma would ordinarily involve at least five years of study, yet this Brock-Durham articulation program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Applicants must have a minimum 70 percent overall average to be considered for admission to the program. Volunteering experience and attainment of the Brock Leadership Skills Certificate programs are considered assets. Successful applicants must maintain a minimum 70 percent overall average during year 2 and meet other program requirements to continue in the program. Enrolment in this program is limited.

Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a BA with Major Psychology degree from Brock and a Social Service Worker diploma from Sheridan College. 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 including youth worker, assistant for developmentally challenged individuals, professional in a variety of group home and mental health settings, and advocate or counsellor in crisis centres or centres for women. Gaining both a degree and a college diploma would ordinarily involve at least five years of study, yet this Brock-Sheridan articulation program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Students will normally apply for admission to the program following the successful completion of Year 1 courses. Applicants must have a minimum 70 percent overall average to be considered for admission to the program.

Yukon College Degree Completion Program
This degree completion program allows Brock students to attend Yukon College to complete the second year of their studies. This program also allows Yukon College students to attend Brock University upon completion of the first two years of their studies in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Students completing their Honours degree upon transfer to Brock University will complete 3.0 PSYC credits numbered 3(alpha)00 to 3(alpha)89, 3.0 PSYC credits numbered 4(alpha)00 to 4(alpha)99 and 4.0 elective credits (including PSYC 3F40, 3P39, 4F91 and 4P93). Students completing their Four Year BA with Major upon transfer to Brock must complete 4.5 PSYC credits 3(alpha)00 to 3(alpha)89, and 1.5 PSYC credits numbered 4(alpha)00 to 4(alpha)99 (including PSYC 4P07). In both program options, at least 3.0 elective credits must be chosen from courses numbered 2(alpha)00 or above. 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 are completing a Four Year BA with Major and begin taking courses in the Spring Term after they have completed Year Two of their studies at Yukon College. For students completing an Honours BA, the program will take two full academic years. 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 who attend Yukon College in Year Two can complete an Honours BA or a BA with Major Psychology degree. The Psychology Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience. This program cannot be combined with any Brock/Colleges Articulation Agreements within Psychology.
