What it is	Psychology 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.	This program combines education with psychology to train you to support students with learning disabilities, behavioural challenges, or mental health needs in school settings. Unlike a general education degree, it focuses specifically on how psychological understanding applies to special education and student wellbeing. It suits people who want to teach or work in schools but are drawn to helping students facing extra barriers to learning.	You study education and arts together while you train to teach French at the middle and high school level. Unlike a straight education degree, this program embeds your subject-area coursework in arts and social sciences alongside your teaching methods training, so you graduate ready to teach French plus another subject. It suits people who want to teach languages and are comfortable studying education theory and practice from day one.
