西三一大学

TWU’s Psychology program considers what it means to be human, and emphasizes how an acute understanding of mind and behavior can be put to work to help our communities.

Every day we make decisions according to how we perceive, think, and feel about the world.

Examining the deeper motivations of human behavior and understanding how you can impact people’s lives is part of the dynamic field of psychology.

Through systematic observation and research in our Psychology program, you will gain an understanding of human experience. As a student, you will explore all aspects of human behavior and the thoughts, feelings, and motivations that underlie that behavior, helping you to better understand people and how you can positively influence them.

Using a Christian worldview as the basis of interpretation, faculty members encourage you to investigate principles derived from research that apply to areas such as work, love, leisure, family, sexuality, value and meaning, spirituality, and relationships. Through a variety of teaching styles, off-campus trips, unique guests, travel studies, and retreat courses, your professors equip you to explore your faith and question your world.
