Psychologists aim to enhance human well-being by studying and shaping thoughts, feelings, and actions. They investigate our motivations, the environmental and biological influences on behavior, and what distinguishes each person. Lakehead University's Psychology program lets you examine these themes 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 by offering exposure to all core areas—Biological, Cognitive-Affective, Individual, Social, Abnormal, and Developmental Psychology—alongside specialized electives during your undergraduate journey.
We emphasize that adaptable learning leads to diverse career possibilities. Combine Psychology with majors like Gerontology, Philosophy, Women's Studies, or Education to investigate interdisciplinary connections. Many faculty members are active clinical psychologists with extensive networks, enabling students to engage in research and volunteer work starting in their first year.
