RDC & University of Calgary partner on new Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree
RED DEER- Students in central Alberta will soon have another option for completing their degrees in Red Deer, as the University of Calgary and Red Deer College have announced a four-year collaborative Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree that will be offered at RDC starting in September.
“Red Deer College and University of Calgary Faculty of Arts have a strong history of partnering to offer local students with collaborative degrees, as students have been able to complete UC Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Sociology at RDC for over 20 years,” says Dr. Torben Andersen, Dean, RDC School of Arts and Sciences. “This new Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree is a very positive addition to our local program mix, as it will allow students to tailor their education based on their interests and goals.”
The Bachelor of Science option will be of particular interest for students looking to pursue professional programs such as Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy and Veterinary studies.
While the courses for the Psychology major are largely similar in both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees, the science courses required in this new degree route will prepare students for professional programs, as well as other science and research-related careers.
