PSYCHOLOGY

The Dordt Difference Psychology will train you to understand human behavior and mental life so you can help restore people to wholeness. At Dordt, we believe that people are created in the image of God and are made up of different dimensions—biological, emotional, social, spiritual. We will challenge you to think about what it means to be human, helping you understand how psychological research can show us more about how God created us—and help us live whole and healthy lives. Our program emphasizes faith, community, and service. You’ll find that a strong sense of community develops between students and professors as we share classes, meals, movie nights, and field trips to graduate schools or mental health hospitals. As your insights and skills grow, we will encourage a commitment to service in the community by participating in service learning, volunteer, and field experiences.
ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT “As a school psychology Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota, I am often reminded of how much I appreciated my time at Dordt College, especially for the encouragement to look beyond the typical view of education. Although I completed my fair share of worthwhile papers, projects, and presentations, I most value Dordt for providing a place and comprehensive perspective to refine my abilities to think critically and to analyze and synthesize virtually any topic area and issue inside and outside my current area of study.” Lynn Edwards Price, Class of ’09
