What is distinctive about the Psychology Department at Augustana College?
Integration. The department faculty recognize that the scientific methods of modern psychology are not the only means by which we gain understanding of human beings. Many other disciplines—from biology to sociology to philosophy–provide important insights from different levels of analysis. Therefore, the faculty encourage students’ efforts to integrate their learning. In particular, they make it a priority to give students opportunities to consider how modern psychology relates to traditional Christianity. They support students who wish to examine how psychology informs faith, and how faith informs psychology. Mentoring. The department faculty are committed to mentoring students. In the Psychology Department, students find small class sizes and caring, available faculty. The faculty offer individualized advising to help students to clarify and achieve their goals.
