B.A. Psychology

Psychology, at its core, is all about understanding how people think. At Biola University’s BOLD program, we believe that God is an essential part of the process. That’s why our Bachelor of Arts in Psychology integrates scientific, research-driven study of human behavior with a biblical understanding of human nature. At Biola, you’ll experience a reputable, APA-accredited institution and a supportive Christian environment that nurtures the whole person — spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and professionally.
