Lakehead University’s Faculty of Education prepares prospective teachers for a dynamic and rewarding career through unique and innovative programming. By emphasizing critical thinking skills and collaborative learning, students will have the flexibility to explore the teaching methods, concepts and values that are meaningful to them.

This program emphasizes practical, experiential learning to ensure students are fully prepared to enter into the workforce post-graduation. Lakehead University’s programs are continually adapted to encompass a variety of educational settings and training opportunities in two divisions: • Primary-Junior (P/J): JK – Grade 6 • Intermediate-Senior (I/S): Grades 7-12

Psychologists share a desire to make a positive contribution to human welfare through understanding and influencing the thoughts, emotions, and behavior of individuals. This program’s multidisciplinary approach to Psychology provides students with the opportunity to explore these topics and the inner workings of the brain through either an Arts or Science stream, depending on their academic interests. Whichever stream students choose, they will graduate with the objective tools to develop theories, test them through scientific experimentation, and develop new knowledge through comprehensive research methods.

The breadth of study within this Psychology program is what sets Lakehead University apart. Throughout the undergraduate degree, students will gain at least one credit of exposure to all elements of the disciplines and sub-fields including Biological, Cognitive-Affective, Individual, Social, Abnormal, and Developmental, in addition to their stream electives.
