With small class sizes and vibrant, student-focused faculty, our students learn and work in a supportive atmosphere that encourages real-world experience. With an active student society and one of the largest programs on campus, our students quickly become a part of the Saint Mary’s community. Our department is also recognized as the preeminent leader in Industrial/Organizational Psychology east of Montreal and is home to some of the only Law Psychology professors in the Maritimes.
Saint Mary’s students may take a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology; Honours programs available. Graduate programs include a Master in Applied Psychology (Forensic or Industrial/Organizational streams), and a PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
