Understanding human behaviour is difficult but vital
in contemporary Canada. Our society is changing rapidly, becoming more multicultural, more densely populated and more anxious about individual and Canadian identity. New challenges face us in our roles as employees and employers, as family members and citizens.There is a rising demand for individuals, from the shop floor to the office of the CEO, that have people skills requiring more than simple assumptions about human nature. To help meet these complex needs, students may take the Certificate in the Study of Human Behaviour. Upon completion of the required course work, students will have developed a systematic understanding of human behaviour as studied through the perspectives of sociology, psychology and related social science disciplines.
 
Students will be required to take six compulsory courses plus two elective courses.
