Overview
The Geneva psychology department, in the study of behavior and thinking, takes a Biblical Christian perspective as its starting point. The strength of Geneva’s psychology department lies in the integration of the Biblical perspective with theoretical positions, both classical and modern as well as practical approaches to psychology. Our goal is to challenge students to establish their own synthesis of the Biblical with the theoretical from which they will evaluate ideas and theories throughout life.
We believe that application of behavioral, cognitive and social concepts can be personally rewarding. Thus, our program provides students with a rich variety of classroom, laboratory and practical experience to prepare students for careers throughout the field of psychology.
