Advising
Every psychology major is assigned an Academic Advisor, usually one of the full time faculty in the the department. Each student will meet with their advisor prior to scheduling class for the next semester. For example, students will meet with their advisor in October for Spring class recommendations and registration. Most psychology core courses are only offered once a year. Social Psychology is offered in the Fall, Advanced Topics is only offered in the Spring just to name a few. Scheduling a time with your Academic Advisor will help you to create an efficient and comprehensive class schedule. Be sure to visit the Academic Success Eagle page for more information on advising and course requirements.

Please remember that before registering for next semester, you must meet with your Academic Adviser. If you have any questions regarding the advising handout or major requirements, feel free to ask your faculty adviser.
Psych UG Learning Community
We recognize that each individual comes with unique experiences, backgrounds, and expectations. Each person is an image bearer of Christ. We are all on unique journeys and learning about ourselves, each other and psychology….this is a lifelong process. Students, faculty, and guests speakers within the Psychology BA program create a profound impact when we bring our collective curiosity, shared knowledge, and love of Christ together.
Psychology is the study of human beings- thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and cultural experiences. We explore how understanding human behavior impacts social, cultural, emotional, learning, and relational outcomes. In this journey, we are not just learning about others; we are learning about ourselves, our strengths, our potential for growth, and our impact on God’s creation. We grow as individuals through engaged learning. This engagement means we listen, reflect and process information given through reading, writing, and social interaction.
In this community, every voice matters. The insights you bring enrich classroom learning and community connection. Through coursework and learning opportunities, we will develop the scientific mind and a compassionate heart. The theories we study are not just abstract concepts; they are tools for understanding real lives, including our own. We hope to inspire you to use this knowledge not only to advance academically but to foster a deeper understanding and therefore connection to the world we are meant to serve.
The community thrives on the passion and dedication of each member. Let us support one another in our pursuit of knowledge, challenge each other to think critically and inspire each other to apply these lessons to create better connections to others and to God. Let’s be builders of more understanding, more grace, more love that looks like Christ’s love and ultimately bring all of it to the entire world.
