Limited opportunities though they may be, each student is entitled to whatever advantage we can provide through practical experience in the field. Hence, a practicum is included within the new required curricular offerings. Because of the diversity of the field, broader yet more clearly delineated lines of direction must be made available to our students as well. However, these options still allow the flexibility necessary for those who do not quite know where their path leads currently. We, along with students with whom we dialogued, are excited about the developments outlined in this curriculum revision.
Questions are welcome.
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal. The psychology department at Taylor University is based upon the evangelical Christian tradition aimed at educating men and women for lifelong learning and for ministering the redemptive love of Jesus Christ to a world in need. As a community of Christian students under the guidance of faculty members committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the psychology department offers breadth and depth of training based upon the conviction that all truth has its source in God. The psychology department believes that academic life at Taylor University is intended to be intense, invigorating and challenging. However, academics must be seen as the primary reason for Taylor University's existence.
