FACULTY Professors: Guy, Narramore, Poelstra Associate Professors: Strauss, Hawkins, Pike, Quek, Ingram Assistant Professors: Grace OBJECTIVES The psychology major provides oppor tunities to study a broad spectrum of issues concerning human nature and functioning from a distinctly Christian world view. Since students select a psychology major for a variety of reasons, course offerings are designed to provide as much flexibility as possible. Only three courses are required of all students (Introduction to Psychology, Psychology and Christian Thought, and Statistics with Computer Applications). Students preparing for graduate study in psychology take a broad set of courses in the research and th eory of psychology as well as foundational courses in applied areas. Students majoring in psy chology as a terminal degree or those preparing for the ministry or ocher profes sional areas may select from both theoreti cal and applied courses those most suited to their vocational and personal goals.
