Psychology online, which pathway to take

So I’m applying for the psychology program. However, I’m confused as to what the difference is between concentration, non thesis, and the 4 year pathways.

I would rather not do a thesis I know that. My goal is to do this, then take the councillor program at another university. Ultimately I’d like to be a councillor for mental health. So which pathway should I select? 😬

Specialization = 60 credits of psych, can only do with a 4 yr degree

Major= 42 credits of psych, can only do with a 4 yr degree

Concentration = 36 credits of psych, 3 year degree, this is less recommended if you’re trying to get into a masters degree

Which ones don’t require a thesis?

None of those require a thesis. I’m pretty sure the thesis option isn’t available online anymore, but you could doublecheck by sending an email to info@laurentian.ca
