Psychology
The psychology major provides students with a general exposure to the field of psychology in preparation for graduate study in psychology or a number of human service positions. It entails completing forty (40) credits in core domains of psychology and includes forty-two (42) credits of free electives. Thus, the psychology major can be attractive for students who wish to earn a minor field of study (in addition to Bible) or complete a broad sequence of courses in addition to psychology.
Applied Psychology
The applied psychology major provides students with strong undergraduate preparation in the areas of family studies and counseling. Applied psychology majors complete the same core courses as do the general psychology majors. In addition, students take courses that are useful for pursuing jobs in human service fields after completing their baccalaureate degrees. The applied psychology major may be attractive to students who do not wish to declare a formal minor (other than Bible) and instead wish to complete additional psychology courses as part of their four-year program of study. Course requirements include 37 semester credits of core psychology courses and an additional 23 credits in their applied emphasis.
