| Description | This course of study combines both Psychology and Sociology. The integration of these separate areas of study gives students the advantage of viewing the human condition from multiple perspectives. From the Psychological perspective, students examine intra-personal aspects of human behavior from the structure and development of Personality to what constitutes a mental disorder. From the Sociological perspective, students examine how people are shaped by social behaviour from the effects of globalization and social institutions to the interaction between small groups and the socialization of the self. Students of the Behavioral Sciences program gain a unique perspective of the human condition, incorporating an understanding of the person as an individual and social agent in society. The Behavioural Sciences faculty seeks to enhance students’ understanding of, and commitment to, the socially disadvantaged and to enable students to become effective agents of transformation consistent with a Christian worldview. We do this by developing critical thinking about change, encouraging student research, offering internships, and promoting an understanding of social forces, human physiology and development, diversity, and social institutions. Through disciplined scholarship, effective teaching, and experiential education, we prepare our students to not only competently interpret individual, local, national, and global patterns of change, but also to effectively engage in social change for people’s benefit. |
