Psychology is the formal study of human behavior.  At Brewton-Parker College, the psychology faculty endeavor to connect with the student at both a cognitive and spiritual level to attempt to answer the complex questions involved with human thinking, feeling, and behaving.

Both theory and practical applications are brought to light in both the regular classroom setting, as well as online to enable students to put a total level of understanding with the facts, data, and research presented by the professors.

At Brewton-Parker College, students can expect to be challenged by trained and dedicated faculty, both in the academic arena as well as the Christian and moral tradition that the college holds dear.

Students interested in majoring in psychology have two degree options: Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. Both degrees include a robust study of the field of psychology. The Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree will prepare you to conduct graduate-level research. Students whose career goals require education beyond a bachelor's degree should consider enrolling in the Bachelor of Science program.

1. Comprehend disciplinary content knowledge
2. Conduct research and communicate your findings
3. Demonstrate ethical and social sensitivity
4. Connect classroom learning with careers in the field of psychology
5. Understand the intersection of psychology and the Christian faith
