Testimonies
"As a graduate student in counseling psychology, I can attest to the fact that the psychology department at Taylor University thoroughly prepares students for further education and work in the field of psychology. Beyond the basic facts that a student needs to be aware of, the faculty in the department, with their diverse personalities, make sure that students understand the bigger picture, including what is currently going on in the field, the underlying assumptions of theories, and what it means to be a counselor as a Christian. This helps us to think critically about what we are taught so that we can become discerning students and wise practitioners.
"A significant factor in the value of the psychology department at TU is the faculty. Each member adds a unique component exhibited in his or her style of teaching, personality and specific interests. This made the experience as a psychology major diverse and enriching.
- Jessica Cook, class of 2003
"The community of the department is a strong focus. I feel like I know each of my professors on a personal level, to the extent that I feel comfortable asking them for recommendations, help on applications, advice on graduate schools and careers, and even for wisdom in some more personal areas of my life."
- Brock Maxwell, class of 2003
