Overview
The Behavioural Science degree programme from Humber Polytechnic is firmly grounded in the theory, principles and practices of behavioural science (applied behaviour analysis and cognitive behavioural approaches) and psychology. Applied behavioural analysis uses behavioural rules in everyday situations to help people change their behaviour to improve quality of life. The programme focuses on data obtained through observation as it investigates behaviour, cognitive events and the influence of environmental factors on behaviour.
Courses in the first two years of the programme provide a strong foundation in behaviour analytic approaches, psychology, research and ethics, while highlighting specific special populations. This is followed in the final two years with further in-depth study of ethics and professionalism, individual and group counselling, issues in behavioural psychology, further special populations, and two courses of senior thesis work. Overall, the programme emphasizes critical thinking, analytical skills, interprofessional practice and leadership.
