What it isPsychology is the scientific study of human behaviour and mental processes — how people think, feel, and act. At Wilfrid Laurier, you can choose between a BA (emphasizing the social and humanities aspects) or a BSc (focusing on research methods and biological foundations). The program includes optional co-op terms where you work in real clinical, research, or organizational settings alongside your studies, giving you practical experience that pure coursework alone doesn't provide.You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences.A Biology degree at Glendon lets you study how living things work, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll take core biology courses and choose from specialized areas like genetics, microbiology, human biology, or biotechnology. The iBSc variant integrates bilingual (English–French) instruction throughout your degree, rather than offering biology taught only in English.
