Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Programs by Degree

Psychology is the study of mental life and behavior. At Asbury, the student explores the various aspects of psychological study (biological, cognitive, developmental, social/personality, and mental and physical health) from a distinctly orthodox Christian perspective. Asbury’s psychology program offers several concentrations for psychology majors to pursue if so desired. They include biological psychology, business psychology, child psychology, Christian counseling, clinical/counseling psychology, equine assisted mental health, forensic psychology, social psychology, and student development psychology. Interested psychology majors, in consultation with their academic advisor, can use the psychology electives to tailor their undergraduate major toward any of these specific areas of study.

 

Admission Requirements:
Full admission into the psychology program is dependent upon successful completion of PSY101 and PSY276 with a minimum grade of ‘C’ in each class. Students earning less than a ‘C’ should retake any of these classes to achieve a grade of ‘C’ prior to enrolling in PSY 375. (For low grades in PSY 101, and in lieu of retaking PSY 101, students may take the Asbury University General Knowledge of Psychology Test with the goal of achieving a grade of 60% to satisfy PSY 101.)
