The Psychology major is designed to develop an individual’s capacities for work in the helping professions in both secular and faith-based settings. Some will apply this degree to work within the mental health setting or they may utilize the relational skills gained in this program for a wide range of careers, including business, human services, and church or parachurch ministry. This major provides foundational studies in preparation for graduate school in the helping professions. Graduates who seek an advanced education typically choose studies in psychology, counseling or social work.
