信仰的集成

The intentional integration of Christian faith with the academic discipline distinguishes SBU的心理学院. A Christian perspective of psychology and counseling permeates 每一个课程. Faculty are committed to the honest discussion of controversial topics with a fair treatment of multiple points of view, while approaching everything from 基督教世界观的镜头. 学生有能力成为最优秀的专业人士 they can be in order to be better witnesses for Christ within their chosen professions.

While all courses inherently integrate the Christian faith, the department of behavioral sciences also offers special classes specifically focused on faith integration, such as 心理学 of Religion, Sociology of Religion, and Agape Love and Altruism.

The department has adopted 2 Peter 1:5-7 as its department verse: "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love."
