Psychology offers a broad understanding of human behavior, including the development, relationships, and interactions of individuals in systems. The department contributes to the liberal education of NNU students through courses offered to meet the General Education core requirement and supports major requirements in other disciplines.  The department also offers in-depth study that leads to a major in psychology, providing students with a background in the questions, methods, and theories of the discipline that prepares them for occupations and further study in psychology and related fields.  The department models and trains its students to be Christian professionals serving the community.
