Psychologists aim to enhance human well-being by studying and shaping people's thoughts, feelings, and actions. They examine our motivations, the environmental and biological influences on us, and what distinguishes each individual. Lakehead University's interdisciplinary Psychology program lets you investigate these subjects and brain functions through either an Arts or Science track, tailored to your academic preferences. Regardless of your chosen path, you'll acquire analytical skills to formulate theories, conduct scientific tests, and generate insights using rigorous research techniques. What distinguishes our Psychology curriculum is its wide-ranging scope - during your undergraduate studies, you'll explore all core areas like Biological, Cognitive-Affective, Individual, Social, Abnormal, and Developmental Psychology, alongside your specialization courses.
We maintain that adaptable learning leads to diverse career possibilities. You can combine Psychology with majors like Gerontology, Philosophy, Women's Studies, or Education to examine their connections. Many of our instructors are active clinical psychologists with varied specializations and professional networks, enabling students to engage in research and volunteer work starting from their first year.
