Studying Allied Health and Psychology From a Distinctly Biblical Worldview
Cedarville’s approach to allied health and psychology is founded on the belief that every individual is created by God in His image — but is separated from Him because of sin and in need of a Savior. As you’re taught to bring physical or mental healing to a patient, you’ll recognize that the greatest help you can offer is salvation through Jesus Christ.
You’ll discover how caring well for our bodies is an act of stewardship and worship to the One who created us.
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Allied Health – Undergraduate

Cedarville University’s allied health degree programs will equip you for a number of health and human performance careers. With Scripture as the foundation of your study, you will learn to serve your patients with the mind of Christ and honor God with good stewardship of the human body.
“I give all the glory to God. It's kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to him, and the blessings fall down on me.”
Psychology – Undergraduate

Cedarville University’s psychology program will teach you to think critically through a biblical lens about human behavior across age spans and cultures.
