Psychology & Human Services (BA/BS) Program Overview

The innovative hybrid psychology and human services (PSY/HS) degree program delivers a strong faith- and heart-centered foundation for students who value both. When you graduate, you’ll be prepared for the workplace.

“We offer high-quality psychology and human services education through the lens of the Christian faith,” notes Dr. Richard A. Farmer. The psychology and human services major focuses on fundamental psychology concepts as well as statistical principles concerning human experience and behavior. Our faculty members offer a variety of perspectives in education and practice and make themselves available to every student. Our goal is to serve our majors. “Teaching gives me the blessed opportunity to share all I have learned and discovered along the way with like-minded explorers,” says Dr. Farmer.

Career Ready or Graduate School

The major also includes the opportunity for an internship to gain critical real-world experience. Once you complete the psychology and human services degree, students are prepared for graduate school such as the Master of Arts degree in Counseling, or the Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in Human Services. Students may also choose to begin meaningful careers helping families and individuals address stress and behavioral issues in the workplace.
