In psychology, student learning incorporates multi-sensory experiences designed to
assist you in applying knowledge, critical and creative thinking, and interpersonal
awareness. Students are encouraged to take what they learn beyond the classroom
and into their day-to-day interactions with others as they live lives of servant
leadership.
WLC psychology majors learn from experienced professors who integrate God’s
Word into the understanding of psychological theories and concepts. Students work
independently, gaining knowledge and insight, conducting research projects, and
applying knowledge, all the while being supported by caring faculty.
What Makes the Program Distinctive?
The psychology program at WLC focuses on three goals: a mastery of concepts,
research and critical thinking, and servant leadership. At WLC, psychology is a
fantastic liberal arts degree, incorporating elements of the humanities, biology,
mathematics, health sciences, business, communication, education, and sociology.
Students leave with a broad range of skills and experiences that encompass far more
than explaining and treating mental illness. Strong academics and research projects
prepare students for their post-WLC plans, whether they include graduate school or
entering the job market.
