Why I love my program
I love my program because it combines two of my biggest interests, psychology and science into one! Getting to take a variety of science electives along with several health/kinesiology electives has allowed me to tailor my degree towards my own interests. On top of that, the research-focused courses built into the program have given me the chance to develop hands-on skills in data analysis and experimental design. With this combination of diverse courses and opportunities, this program truly ensures that students are well-prepared for a wide range of career paths!
