All courses in psychology taught at Biola College have for their ultimate purpose the better understanding of human nature and, through this understanding, greater adequacy in dealing with its problems. There is a definite attempt to afford points of contact with biology, phil­ osophy, theology, history, and sociology. In other words, courses in the main are taught with cons tant reference to values broader than the strict discipline of psychology would require. The department offers two majors: one of a professional nature for those planning to do further work in the field, and the other of a non-profess ional nature primarily designed for students preparing for elemen tary school teach ­ ing. Students majoring in the professional psychology major will find them­ selves with an adequate background for work in th e fi eld of counseling. It is assumed that there will be subsequent work for those who expec t to enter counseling as a profession. Pre-major requirement for both majors Psych. 206.
