What our students say about Social Sciences

"The community at SAU is very rich and nourishing, bringing so much life to campus. Between Chapel, professors praying before class, and the overall curriculum, you are getting spiritually fed and can feel God everywhere. The School of Social Sciences does a great job at showing us the links between psychology and Christianity because of how much faith shapes people's mindsets. My department has challenged me in a good way; I have been able to reflect on who I am, make mistakes, and grow. I enjoy bonding with the people in my classes and getting to know people who have the same interests in psychology as I do."
