The Bachelor of Science in Christian Psychology prepares students to understand human behavior, emotional health, and mental processes through the lens of biblical truth and scientific inquiry. This degree integrates foundational principles of psychology with Christian theology, equipping students to serve individuals and communities with compassion, wisdom, and ethical responsibility.
