The grant will be used to disseminate information regarding a new and innovative Bachelor of Applied Arts in Behavioural Psychology to 2,000 high schools in Canada and Northern New York State. The program is the first of its kind in Canada! This comprehensive four-year degree offers both classroom instruction, as well as 1,100 hours of supervised placements in three different community agencies (http://www.sl.on.ca/fulltime/bachelor/index.htm). Students will acquire the knowledge and skills in behavioural psychology to be employed in a variety of social service settings (e.g., addictions ,correctional services, developmental disabilities, autism) or to pursue additional post-secondary education. Although this four-year program is offered at St. Lawrence College, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, students from around the world may participate. Once these students graduate with their Bachelor’s of Applied Arts in Behavioural Psychology, they will potentially apply what they have learned, be employed in various social service settings, serve others using empirically-based methods, educate others about the usefulness of behavioural psychology, enroll in graduate school, and prosper!
