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 individual. Lakehead University's interdisciplinary Psychology program lets you examine these subjects and brain functions through either an Arts or Science pathway 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. What distinguishes our Psychology curriculum is its comprehensive scope - undergraduates complete coursework across all core areas: Biological, Cognitive-Affective, Individual, Social, Abnormal, and Developmental Psychology, alongside stream-specific electives.
We maintain that adaptable learning leads to diverse career possibilities. Combine Psychology with complementary majors like Gerontology, Philosophy, Women's Studies, or Education to examine interdisciplinary connections. Many faculty members are active clinical psychologists offering varied specializations and professional networks, enabling student involvement in research and volunteer initiatives starting in first year.
