Future-Driven Degrees

Two of Laurier's most popular and established programs, Computer Science and Psychology, are expanding to our new Milton campus. Both undergraduate degree programs will be taught with an innovative, problem-based approach, and designed with extensive hands-on learning opportunities (including co-op for eligible Computer Science (BSc) students!)

Whether you're excited to unpack the biological and behavioural science of the human mind or learn the ins and outs of diverse computing languages and algorithms, Laurier Milton will give you the quality education and career-readiness you're looking for.
