Because psychology is a multifaceted field of study, we strive to reflect this in the various courses that we offer. As a psychology major, you will have the opportunity to:
- learn about the traditional empirical areas of psychology and clinical psychology,
- learn how to conduct psychological research
- learn how to evaluate the important theories and presuppositions in psychology from a Christian perspective.
In an effort to provide a comprehensive training program, the undergraduate program has chosen academic requirements that support the needs of students wanting to pursue graduate training as well as provide a solid liberal arts degree for students entering the broader market. This is done through the specific course requirements, varied electives, opportunities for research experience in the classroom, through faculty collaboration, the Honors Program, and internship experiences.
Psychology is a very large and complex field with more than 100 sub-fields. To help you choose a path through our course offerings we suggest you look at some example tracks recommended to prepare students for a few specializations that aim toward a large cluster of those 100-plus sub fields.
