Psychologists aim to positively impact human well-being by studying and shaping thoughts, feelings, and actions. They examine our motivations, the environmental and biological influences on us, and what distinguishes each person. Lakehead University's interdisciplinary Psychology program lets you investigate these areas and brain function 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 generate insights using rigorous research techniques. Our Psychology program stands out for its wide-ranging curriculum, ensuring you study all core aspects of the field - including Biological, Cognitive-Affective, Individual, Social, Abnormal, and Developmental Psychology - alongside your specialization courses.
We view adaptable learning as key to versatile career options. You can combine Psychology with complementary majors like Gerontology, Philosophy, Women's Studies, or Education to examine how these disciplines interconnect. Many of our instructors are active clinical psychologists with diverse specializations and professional networks, enabling students to engage in research and volunteer work starting in their first year.
