ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

Prepare for an Exciting Human Services Career with a Psychology Degree.
If you know how people think and process emotions, you can connect with them on a deeper level. Studying psychology gives you the tools to be a better manager, help people overcome emotional challenges, and to better minister to their spiritual needs. You can apply an understanding of human thought to any industry that involves people, making the bachelor’s in psychology one of the most flexible degrees you can earn.

As a Christian University, Central Christian University’s 100% online bachelor’s degree in psychology offers a unique approach to the study of the human mind by emphasizing the importance of spiritual health along with mental and emotional health. CCU’s online psychology classes help you use the study of human thought to solve conflicts, anticipate needs, and create better, healthier communities, based on a Christian worldview. This well-rounded undergraduate psychology degree can provide you with the in-demand skills and knowledge to pursue a career in behavioral sciences, or in any people-focused industry.

A degree in Psychology is beneficial to students who are interested in a career in psychology as well as those interested in other fields. Graduates with a BA in Psychology can develop a working knowledge of psychological areas, apply psychological content and skill to meet professional goals, apply ethical standards to science, and professional practice, effectively write, speak, and interact with others, and engage in science-based reasoning to interpret behaviors and solve problems. These skills are interchangeable and valuable in any industry, not just psychology. Additionally, many BA in Psychology graduates go on to study psychology or another field in graduate degree work. Whether you’re interested in pursuing graduate level study in psychology or another area of study including social work, education, business administration, criminal justice, political science, among others, a BA in Psychology can help you build a solid foundation to pursue your graduate education.

The Bachelor of Arts in Psychology prepares the student to be a well-rounded, educated individual as it reflects many of the goals of a liberal arts education and will teach you many of the skills inherent to a liberal arts degree including critical thinking skills, analytical reasoning skills, interpersonal skills, ethical values, communication skills, writing skills and more.

*Please note: This program is not intended to prepare students for the independent practice of professional psychology and will not lead or qualify students to licensure upon graduation. In addition, the transfer or acceptability of credits is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
