Department Overview

The Department of Psychology at Point Loma Nazarene University emphasizes 
several features in striving for excellence in undergraduate education in order to:

  • Develop mature personalities in students, so they are able to meet problems of adjustment with realism and intelligence;
  • Integrate the religious faith of students with the study of psychology;
  • Prepare students who plan to undertake graduate study in psychology
    for careers related to mental health, such as Marriage and Family Therapy, Clinical/Counseling Psychology, Social and Community Psychology, and Health Psychology;
  • Educate students preparing for careers in non-mental health-related fields, such as Church Ministry, Business, Medicine, and Law.
