​4 Year BSc with Major

Brock offers a 4 year, non-honours degree option called the Four Year BSc with Major. This degree is designed for students who want to complete a 4 year degree, but who aren’t especially interested in the research training that students in the honours stream. If research/data management aren't for you, and if you aren’t considering applying to graduate school in psychology, you might prefer the flexibility of the 4 year BSc with Major.

But Doesn't Honours = Smart?
Some people make the mistake of thinking that they need to do the honours program so that others will think that they're "smart" - in other words, they want other people to know that they had high grades in university. In fact, this connection between grades and the honours program is a bit of a myth. It's true that the people who complete an honours degree usually have high grades, because we restrict entry to the program based on students' PSYC GPA. However the designation that really tells people that you're "smart" (that is, that you got high grades) is graduating from Brock "with distinction". Students who graduate with distinction have an average that is 80% or above, and this will be noted on their Brock transcript. We have a number of people who graduate from psychology with distinction but who chose not to complete an honours degree. ​
