The psychology program at SPU endeavors to accomplish four goals:
Provide students with solid academic and experiential grounding in the theory, research, and practice of the field of psychology
Prepare and inspire able and motivated students to enter and contribute to the field of psychology
Nurture students toward valuing themselves and others as persons of worth, created in God’s image
Empower students to act in this world. That is, actively celebrating God’s human and non-human creation, actively showing mercy and compassion to the vulnerable, and actively challenging and changing aspects of society that deny or denigrate persons.
