Overview
Loving God and Loving People; we often say that these two statements are what our program is all about. And if these two statements are an accurate description of you, then the Counseling Psychology program at Emmaus Bible College would be a great fit for you!
The mission statement of the Emmaus Counseling department is to equip students with the ability to integrate, under a biblical authority, theories, practices, and methodologies of counseling psychology for effective counseling ministry to those in need.
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.
