These laws and principles are in harmony with God's law of love, truth, and freedom, reflecting His character.
Train undergraduate missionary students in Biblical Psychology

This program is designed for students aspiring to become counselors, practitioners, and therapists, aiming to pursue admission to graduate programs in counseling or clinical psychology.
It specifically targets those interested in obtaining a Master’s degree in School or Professional Counseling, School Psychology, or a Doctorate degree in clinical or counseling psychology from a professional psychology program. Our program covers various subfields of psychology, including Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, and Health Psychology.

Health psychologists promote health, prevent illness, and improve healthcare through psychological science.
