The Psychology major at Bethany is designed to introduce the student to the science of individual and group human behavior. Emphasis is placed upon the history, theories and methods psychologists have developed as well as the Christian perspective.

Bethany's Christian focus creates a psychology major for students to meet the needs of people in a multi-cultural society in both public and private settings. This is accomplished by developing an understanding of human behavior in relationship to the Christian faith.

The liberal arts aspect of the major also fosters an appreciation of both interconnections between psychology and other fields of study, as well as problem-solving skills and critical thinking techniques.
