Future Course Offerings | Psychology
Program changes are coming to the Psychology Degree Programs starting in Fall 2023!
The Department is discontinuing the "Bachelor of Applied Arts" Degree Program and introducing a new "Bachelor of Arts in Human Behaviour and Applied Psychology" Degree Program.
Degree requirements for all three degree programs have revised the course listings from each cluster. Changes have been outlined in the Future Course Offerings below.
In-progress students designated with a pre-2023 University Calendar Year may follow the existing program or elect to shift into the revised program. An email will be sent to all declared students to inform them about program changes and they may contact an Arts Degree Advisor to ensure a smooth transition.
