Apply Now WHY CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY? Psychology seeks to understand human behavior, emotion, cognition, and well-being. Christian Psychology begins with a deeper question: This concentration affirms that human beings are holistic—body, mind, soul, and spirit—created in the imago Dei. Every person carries inherent dignity, moral agency, relational depth, and eternal value. Students engage mainstream psychological theory and research while grounding their understanding of identity, suffering, healing, and transformation in a Christian theological framework. Faith is not an afterthought. It shapes the foundation. BUILT AS A GRADUATE PIPELINE A Launchpad Toward Counseling Licensure Pathways This undergraduate concentration is designed to prepare students for master’s-level programs that lead to professional licensure, including: • Marriage & Family Therapy (LMFT pathway) • Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling (LPCC pathway) • Substance Use Disorder Counseling (CAADC/SUD pathway) Psychology Is Never Worldview-Neutral. Every theory of human nature begins with assumptions. Secular psychology often operates from naturalistic or humanistic frameworks. While many evidence-based tools are helpful and widely used, they do not always address spiritual realities such as sin, grace, redemption, forgiveness, and relational restoration. The Christian Psychology concentration trains students to: • Engage psychological science thoughtfully • Evaluate theories through a Christian lens • Distinguish pastoral care from clinical counseling • Hold professional ethics with theological conviction • Enter graduate environments with integration skills already developed Students do not learn to reject science. They learn to interpret it wisely. This concentration may be a strong fit if you: • Feel called toward counseling or mental health fields • Plan to pursue graduate study and licensure • Want academic rigor without compromising faith • Desire to enter secular graduate programs grounded and prepared • Believe psychology and theology should be thoughtfully integrated MORE THAN ONLINE LEARNING - COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE Apply Now
