Departments
The Department of Psychology and Social Services offers four majors.
The Psychology major exposes students to theory and research in a variety of content areas including cognitive, behavioral, social, and developmental psychology. The curriculum is biblically integrated and students are challenged to establish their own synthesis of the biblical with the theoretical.
The Human Services major prepares and trains students to work in a variety of positions in social agencies. The curriculum is not only practical but also gives students the opportunity to consider social service theory and policy from a biblical worldview.
The Biopsychology major provides a deeper understanding of how the physiology of the body functions in behavior, and also how defects in such function affect behavior. This major is a joint effort of the college′s biology and psychology departments.
The Criminal Justice major provides an interdisciplinary experience, drawing from psychology, human services, sociology and political science, that prepares students to serve God through compassionate service.
