What our students say about the Psychology program
“I have absolutely loved the psychology classes taken at SAU; even the more theory-based content is always so applicable to my passion of assisting people. Professors are knowledgeable and helpful even outside the classroom. There is an interesting mix of essential and elective courses which have focuses like childhood development. This has given me a good grasp of concepts like abnormal, cognitive, behavioural, and even positive psychology, as well as an avenue to incorporate faith when helping others overcoming behavior, breaking habits and having peace."
