Laurier's Faculty of Science includes six academic departments:
Biology, Chemistry, Kinesiology & Physical Education, Mathematics,
Physics & Computer Science, and Psychology. The Faculty offers an
array of undergraduate programs leading to BSc, BA, BBSc,
BSc/BBA degrees. Graduate programs are available leading to MSc, MA, and
PhD degrees in Psychology, to an MSc in Mathematics for Science and
Finance, and to an MSc in Kinesiology in the area of Physical Activity
and Health. New graduate programs are in development in other areas.
The Faculty of Science is a community with particular commitments
to research and the advancement of scientific knowledge. We are
dedicated to producing graduates of the highest calibre, equipped to
make substantial contributions to Canadian society.
For Science students, we provide an opportunity to work with world
class research-active faculty who bring excitement for their discipline
to the classroom. Our students have a share in scientific progress. At
the same time, the Faculty is a relatively small, unique community of
scientists, and our students benefit from the personal attention they
receive.
For our faculty members, Science offers an opportunity to work with
like-minded colleagues in specialized areas of research interest. The
Faculty of Science fosters an environment of shared commitment to
research, and the great majority of Laurier researchers in Science have
external research funding.
For Canada, we
prepare exceptional graduates with a solid education in their discipline
of choice, and the rich experience of learning directly from
research-active scientists. New and innovative programs, for example in
health sciences, biochemistry & biotechnology, in photonics, and in financial
mathematics, will produce much-needed qualified personnel for growth
areas in the Canadian economy.
