  • To provide an analysis of the person from the physical, emotional, rational, and spiritual levels.
  • To aid students in their personal adjustment to everyday life through an understanding of human behavior.
  • To prepare students for graduate study in psychology and related areas.
  • To train students desiring to use counseling in vocational ministry in biblical counseling contexts.
  • To introduce students to the work world through internships, Christian ministries, guest lectures, and advisement.
  • To provide courses in psychology necessary for teacher certification.
