Psychologists aim to enhance human well-being by studying and shaping how people think, feel, and act. They examine our motivations, the environmental and biological influences on behavior, and what distinguishes individuals. Lakehead University's interdisciplinary Psychology program lets you investigate these areas through either Arts or Science pathways, tailored to your academic goals. Regardless of your chosen path, you'll acquire analytical skills to formulate theories, conduct scientific tests, and advance knowledge through rigorous research. Our program stands out for its comprehensive coverage—undergraduates explore all core areas like Biological, Cognitive-Affective, Individual, Social, Abnormal, and Developmental Psychology, alongside specialized electives.
We emphasize adaptable learning for diverse career opportunities. Combine Psychology with majors like Gerontology, Philosophy, Women's Studies, or Education to examine their connections. Many faculty members are active clinical psychologists offering extensive expertise and networks, enabling students to engage in research and volunteer work starting in their first year.
