Psychology
Associate Professors: E. Babcock, O. Lima, A. Zell
Assistant Professor: B. Jeppsen, C. Trainor
The curriculum in the Department of Psychology is designed to introduce the student to the theories and methods modern psychologists have developed in their attempt to understand human nature. Both the scientific approach to psychology and the approach based on personal experiences, intuition and reflection are presented. The Department also relates the modern psychological approach to the traditional Christian one.
A psychology major can lead to many different careers. Psychology advisors will assist students in choosing the specific courses that meet individual students' needs. As a major with some flexibility, Psychology works well to support another program of study. It is also a strong stand-alone major. Students who intend to pursue careers in psychology should take up to 43 credit hours in psychology. The department advises individuals who wish to attend graduate school and receive letters of recommendation from department faculty to become involved in research projects with department faculty.
