WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY?

The goal of the study of psychology is to provide an education that informs your interactions with others for the rest of your life. Students choose to study psychology because they want to learn how and why they and others think and behave the way they do. By studying psychology, you will gain insights into human nature that are immensely relevant to your everyday life. Not only will you be able to understand the actions of those around you, by studying psychology you can become a better thinker, a more compassionate listener, a more engaged participant in the world around you. We believe the knowledge you will gain in our psychology program will help you become the kind of person who enhances the well-being of others.

Proudly the smallest university in Canada, St. Stephen's University is a premier Liberal Arts university, only accepting up to 30 students each year . Believing that education happens better in a small learning community in which everybody can contribute, professors share daily life with students, actually getting to know them as friends. In this unique setting, each and every student's innate aptitudes can be recognised and explored, preparing them for a career that fits who they are.

Students live together in a former hotel in a small town in New Brunswick, participating in cooking and cleaning together as well as studying and relaxing. And for two whole terms, they travel the world together as a class , visiting more than a dozen countries in Europe and Asia.

At the core of the university, the staff and faculty are Christians, giving the community a caring foundation of acceptance and inclusion. Students from all backgrounds, spiritual perspectives and stages in life’s journey are welcomed, with no religious entry requirements or mandatory practices.
