Bachelor of Arts Psychology

 

Psychology

 

Proceeding from a Judeo-Christian understanding of humans created in the image of God, the psychology major explores multiple perspectives of human nature, including biological, behavioral, cognitive, socio-cultural and spiritual.

 

All students learn the skills necessary to conduct research and to carefully evaluate other’s research, with the goal of increasing our understanding of human nature. The psychology major is designed to prepare the student for the next step after undergraduate studies, whether it is immediate employment, graduate school or ministry.
