Psychologists study the mechanisms that underlie our thoughts, emotions and behaviours. They examine a diverse range of topics, such as how we think and learn, how we interact with others and how we can promote healthy development and wellness. This is accomplished by conducting research so that the knowledge gained can help us to better understand the human mind, enhance well-being and performance, and generate additional research questions.
All of our programs provide opportunities to explore psychology’s major areas within the context of an active and diverse research environment. Our honours programs offer six concentrations for students wishing to focus on one of these major areas.
Core courses
Your first year will include an introductory course that highlights what psychology offers and describes its basis as an experimental science. In second year, you will take courses in research methods, statistics and in specialized areas within the discipline. These courses are the core of our undergraduate programs, providing you with a sound foundation for further study. In third year, you will take courses that deal with specific areas relating to your own interests and will receive an excellent foundation in research methods and data analysis.
Future opportunities
Many of our graduates wish to become professional psychologists. Most Canadian provinces, however, require you to have a PhD degree and be registered by a provincial college or board of psychologists before allowing you to use the professional designation of psychologist. Carleton’s Honours programs in Psychology provide you with the foundation you need for graduate study leading to a doctoral degree.
