Bachelor of Behavioural Psychology (Honours)

Course Description

The four-year Honors Bachelor of Behavioural Psychology degree program you described sounds like it is focused on providing students with a comprehensive education in the field of behavioral psychology. The program seems to be based on the theory that behaviors are acquired through interaction with the environment, and covers a range of subjects related to psychology, including behavioral intervention, behavioral techniques, and the application of Applied Behaviour Analysis in clinical and non-clinical settings. It appears that the program is designed to give students in-depth theoretical, conceptual, and applied knowledge in the field of behavioral psychology. This program may be particularly well-suited for individuals who are interested in working with people with mental health challenges or learning disabilities, as well as those who are interested in the rapidly growing field of ASD services.

• Design interventions and strategies based on the science of Applied Behaviour Analysis to assess strengths, increase adaptive behaviours, develop new skills and decrease maladaptive behaviours.
• Evaluate client case information and theory to make collaborative interventions and recommendations for short and long term planning and care.
• Analyze social structures and processes to support socially significant behaviour change.
• Apply legislation, policy and procedures in the local, provincial and national context to inform practice.
