About the Program

Last Updated: 
September 20, 2012

Ours is an integrated department. We currently offer only an undergraduate degree. The family-relevant degrees are (1) Family and Community Service, and (2) Psychology Pre-Counseling. Our department currently employs five full time faculty members identified in the following manner: a family scientist, a family therapist, a counseling psychologist, a research psychologist, and a sociologist. The integrative nature of our department provides a strong liberal arts preparation as well as a specific professional focus for each undergraduate student. We are a faith-based program and university and we challenge students to integrate their faith into their discipline. We have more than 100 majors in our department with the majority currently anticipating a career in a therapy-related field. More than 90% of our departmental courses are taught by full-time faculty members with degrees and training in their specific disciplines. We currently offer two family-related undergraduate degrees: Family and Community Service and Psychology Pre-Counseling. Beginning in the fall of 2013 we will offer a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
