McMaster’s Honours B.A.Sc. in Human Behaviour offers a combination of breadth and depth of education in how behaviour works at the individual and societal level. Students completing this program will be well equipped to enter any work environment that requires understanding the determinants of human behaviour – the social influences on behaviour; the basic neuroscience underlying behaviour; the stages of language development; and the stages of early development and their impact on human behaviour.

The generalist stream of the Honours B.A.Sc. program gives students substantial flexibility to customize their degree to focus on subspecialty areas of their choice. Capstone experiences focus on science literacy and science communication to a broader audience. The generalist stream is an excellent preparatory degree for a range of other applied certificate/diploma training and offers a more applied versus research-focused background than the Honours PNB degree.

McMaster University’s Engineering program has a common first year, which I actually appreciated—it gave me time to explore different disciplines before choosing my stream. It’s definitely rigorous, and the workload can be intense, but it pushes you to think critically and manage your time well. The community is collaborative rather than competitive, and there are plenty of design teams and clubs to get involved in. Overall, it’s demanding but rewarding if you’re ready to put in the effort.

As a graduate of the Integrated Biomedical Engineering & Health Sciences program, I found it to be a great mix of engineering, health, and real-world problem solving. The program is project-heavy, so you build practical skills fast, and the interdisciplinary focus really sets you apart. It’s challenging, but it prepares you well for industry, grad school, or professional programs.
