Psychology is the scientific study of how we think, feel, and act. It seeks to answer questions about how individuals and groups interact with each other and the world around them. In your psychology courses you may study diverse issues such as how children develop empathy, how memories are formed and retained, why some people suffer from addiction, and how our psychological and physical states are connected.

The Psychology program at Laurier Brantford is structured so as to ensure that you are exposed to the breadth of content that exists within the discipline while still providing you with enough flexibility to pursue your own particular interests. The Psychology program is offered by Wilfrid Laurier University .
