The Tyndale advantage in Psychology

The psychology program at Tyndale offers several advantages to the student:

(1) We offer a unique Honours Program with a dual-track: a traditional thesis-based program and a counseling-focused applied psychology program. The thesis-based component prepares students for doctoral programs in psychology, while the applied psychology component prepares students for both employment and graduate training in counselling. This flexible learning model makes it possible for students to get broad experience in the field of psychology, while also preparing them for further educational pursuits or professional goals.

(2) Students can get actively involved in research in numerous areas. Positive Psychology Central serves as an umbrella for a variety of research projects, ranging from the meaning of life, successful aging to death acceptance.

(3) We believe that significant learning can take place outside the classroom through mentoring. We work closely with each student to facilitate their development academically, professionally and spiritually, within the context of a Christian community.

(4) We are situated in the centre of Toronto, home to several research universities in Canada. In addition to various enriching academic and cultural events, Toronto offers many opportunities for employment, internship, and ministry.

(5) Tyndale is one of the oldest institutions of post-secondary learning in Canada. It is also Ontario’s newest liberal arts university with a provincial charter to grant Honours degrees in psychology and other disciplines. Our high-quality academic programs, dedicated faculty, and small-sized classes enable us to offer our students the best quality of education.
