Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Psychology

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.

This Psychology major can be paired with other majors including Gerontology, Philosophy, Women's Studies, and Education, to explore the intersection of these fields.

Much of the faculty are practicing clinical psychologists with a range of expertise and connections, making it possible to immerse students in research and volunteer opportunities from first year onward.
