Our mission is to promote the development of students who can understand, critique, and apply theories, research findings, and methodologies across a broad range of areas within psychology. Furthermore, we provide a supportive context for such development that encourages students to contemplate connections among Christian faith, learning, and living. We are committed to our students' growth in knowledge, wisdom, and compassion so that they will succeed and serve in their future educational, career, and personal endeavors.
