Our classes are small, so you will receive considerable individual attention. The major in psychology consists of core and elective classes. Courses in the core provide an introduction to the field, teach general research skills, provide space to reflect on the interaction of faith and psychology and cover the foundational areas of personality theory. The elective classes you choose for personal interest or to meet your career goals. You have the opportunity for both experiential learning and faculty-directed student research.
