Program
The Counseling Psychology program is designed to help the students better know and love God, and to better know and love people. Our program is a dual major that seeks to ground the student in knowing God through a study of His word, and to provide the student with an understanding of counseling philosophy, theories and techniques to help you better love people. Our integration model serves to help students to not just treat problems, but to understand the root of issues, and how to treat the entire individual.
