Academic Program
The Department of Psychology equips students to critically consider the philosophical assumptions that provide the foundation for evidence-based practices. Engaging human nature, human flourishing, psychopathology, relationships, and research from a distinctly Christ-centered perspective affords students the necessary preparation in psychological theories for both graduate school and the workplace while teaching them to uphold Biblical truth as the standard of wisdom for living the good life in service to Church and society.
