WHAT'S OUR MISSION?

The psychology program at SPU endeavors to accomplish four goals:

• Provide students with solid academic and experiential grounding in the theory, research, and practice of the field of psychology

• Prepare and inspire able and motivated students to enter and contribute to the field of psychology

• Nurture students toward valuing themselves and others as persons of worth, created in God’s image

• Empower students to act in this world. That is, actively celebrating God’s human and non-human creation, actively showing mercy and compassion to the vulnerable, and actively challenging and changing aspects of society that deny or denigrate persons.
