Mission & Learning Outcomes
The psychology major provides opportunities to study a broad spectrum of issues concerning human nature and functioning from a distinctly Christian worldview. Since students select a psychology major for a variety of reasons, course offerings are designed to provide as much flexibility as possible. There are eight courses required of all students. Students preparing for graduate study in psychology take a broad set of courses in the research and theory of psychology as well as foundational courses in applied areas. Students majoring in psychology as a terminal degree or those preparing for the ministry or other professional areas may select from both theoretical and applied courses those most suited to their vocational and personal goals.
