Objectives
The psychology major provides opportunities 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. There are seven courses required
of all students, and we offer a choice of eight different specializations
from a variety of theoretical, applied or professional areas.
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 the eight different concentrations
focusing on those specialties most suited to their vocational and
personal goals.
