Introduction
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Behavioural Sciences program at Booth University College provides you with a unique focus that combines sociology (the study of social behaviour), psychology (the study of mind and behaviour) and a general foundation in the social sciences. Studying sociology will change your understanding of how the world operates. You’ll develop a perspective sensitive to the social forces that shape you and your world. You’ll see education, politics, economics, religion, culture and Canadian society in new ways. The study of psychology will enable you to appreciate individual differences and how people’s behaviour is shaped by biology and culture. You will wrestle with the nature of the mind, intelligence, consciousness, memory and personal identity.
Studying at Booth
As a Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Sciences student at Booth University College, you’ll be in the unique position of gaining a real understanding of how and why people and societies behave the way they do, and how to integrate this understanding with a Christian worldview focusing on social justice. We’ll enhance your understanding of, and commitment to, the socially disadvantaged, and prepare you to become an agent of change in the world.
We accomplish this task by developing critical thinking about social change, encouraging students to do ‘real-world’ research, offering internships and promoting an understanding of social forces, human physiology and development, diversity and social institutions. Through disciplined scholarship, effective learner-centred teaching and experiential education, we prepare our students not only to competently interpret individual, local, national and global patterns of change, but also to effectively engage in social change for people’s benefit. Your Booth University College experience can also include the opportunity to add in an educational travel experience to enhance your studies.
