Science Co-op

Laurier’s Faculty of Science offers programs that are contemporary and competitive, designed to attract the highest quality students and to provide them with a stimulating education and thorough preparation for employment or further studies. Small class sizes in its science programs provide an opportunity for interaction between students and faculty and for hands-on learning in its labs.

The faculty is a centre for research in the natural, physical and social sciences.
