Diploma iz Biopsihologije

Biopsychology (also known as biological psychology or behavioral neuroscience) is an interdepartmental major for studying the biological and physiological foundations of emotional, mental, and behavioral systems. Students will study the links between biology, chemistry, and psychology, especially those involving the central nervous system at the cellular and structural level. Biopsychology students explore brain circuitry's intricacies, learning how neurons and neurotransmitters contribute to normal and abnormal behavior. With this foundation, students can begin pursuing expertise in various areas – studying the brain from a chemical, cellular, genetic, developmental, behavioral, cognitive, or social behavior perspective. This is an attempt to isolate our “nature” (our biology and genetic make-up) from our “nurture” (our environmental conditioning) so that we can better understand the roles that nature and nurture each play in the formation of our behavioral patterns.

Our faith-based biopsychology degree program is designed to engage the area of neuroscience with a Christian critique, discernment, and dialogue, thereby advancing God use Mid-Atlantic Christian University's (MACU) mission of training students to engage and transform modern culture. The current academic climate in the biopsychology field strongly reflects evolutionary and reductionist philosophy, which claims a naturalistic explanation for all biological and behavioral phenomena. At MACU, we want to join the conversation and bring the reality of a creator God to bear on the explanations of mind and body.
