Bachelor of Science in Psychology

The Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Great Northern University trains students to examine human behaviour and contributing mental processes critically. This major equips students with the right tools to progress toward a career in social services, mental health, counselling, or psychiatry.

This program is highly beneficial for anyone who desires to gain a better understanding of how mental processes (nature versus nurture, personality, theories on motivation and methods, etc.) contribute to the human experience. Students will explore scientific research on mental health (environmental and genetic factors), develop speaking and conversational skills to enhance problem-solving abilities, and discuss psychology in social, cultural, and professional contexts.

The vision was of a university that incorporates biblical studies with Christian liberal arts to prepare students to serve missionally in any context, whether in professional ministry, business-as-mission, or in merely bringing the influence of the gospel to the workplace. This vision is rooted in the conviction that Christian young people who are well-founded in scripture and expertly trained for meaningful careers have tremendous potential to engage and transform the world for Christ.
