Social Sciences - Ambrose University

Social Sciences at Ambrose University includes Behavioural Science & Psychology, and equips students for graduate school & work in the social sector.

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.

Our Story

The Social Science department at Ambrose University includes BA degrees in Psychology and Behavioural Science. Psychology is a robust program with an emphasis on research that will prepare you for graduate studies and employment in a variety of sectors. Optional orientation areas give you the chance to focus on Clinical Studies, Culture & Psychology, Human Development or Neuropsychology. 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. A community-based practicum puts this learning into practice and gives you the skills to work in the social sector. Many BHS graduates are successful in graduate programs in a wide range of disciplines as well.
