Behavioural Science

Program Overview

Behavioural Science—BHS for short—is an interdisciplinary program of sociology and psychology. Through psychology you’ll examine how individuals perceive, develop within, and act upon the world. Through sociology you’ll examine how groups and cultures create their own social worlds and how those worlds affect the people who are a part of them. You’ll learn how sociology and psychology intersect in human behaviour, and your learning in one will complement the other. You’ll not only take fascinating classes and do interesting research, you’ll also put your learning to work by doing a community practicum.

So, here's the deal:

Take five courses per semester for four years, and you'll complete your Behavioural Science degree [courses are worth 3 credits and 3 x 5 x 2 x 4 = 120 credits].
