Lakehead University provides a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology, typically completed in two years of full-time study. This MA Clinical program focuses on cultivating scientific, analytical, and ethical competencies in students, preparing them for roles as skilled researchers, practitioners, and educators. The curriculum follows the scientist-practitioner approach to psychological training and professional practice.
Psychology presents diverse career opportunities across multiple educational levels. Graduates with bachelor's degrees (BA or BSc) in psychology can pursue various paths, as can those who obtain additional diplomas or advanced degrees in complementary fields.
Lakehead University's Gender and Women's Studies Department emphasizes gender as a crucial analytical framework in academic research. Using interdisciplinary methods, the program challenges students to evaluate how current knowledge systems represent gendered perspectives. Its goal is to promote gender-inclusive education and scholarship both within the university and broader society. This Collaborative Master's program enables students to merge specialized discipline-based research with interdisciplinary Gender and Women's Studies. Graduates receive a degree that identifies their primary discipline while recognizing their Gender and Women's Studies specialization.
