    Psychology

    About

    The Department of Psychology and Counseling offers two four-year curricula leading to the Bachelor of Arts in General Psychology and the Bachelor of Science degree in Counseling Psychology. The department also offers three graduate degrees. A Master of M.A. (39 hours) degree in Counseling Psychology, a M.A. (60 hours) degree is offered in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and M.Ed. School Counseling (48 hours). Graduate programs are offered through the School of Graduate and Professional Studies at WAU. Each course is built on the basic philosophy that the “true principles of psychology are found in the Holy Scriptures (1MCP 10.1).”

    Requirements

    1. Graduate from an accredited secondary school, a Distance Education Training Council (DETC) approved program or accredited distance education high school program such as Griggs International Academy, with a grade-point average (GPA) of at least 2.50 on a 4.0 scale and have an ACT verbal score of 17, SAT verbal score of 470 or SAT composite score of 800 (verbal and math).

    4. GED test scores with at least a score of 410 on each of the four subject exams or equivalent scores on other GED versions.
    5. Minimum ACT verbal score of 17 or SAT composite score of 800 (verbal and math).

    English Program Requirements

    The ability to speak the language in which classes are taught is vital to your success. The following information outlines the college’s requirements: Students who don’t speak English as a first language will need to demonstrate the ability to pursue studies in the English language. This can be done by passing the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), which is available in most countries. All Washington Adventist University undergraduate programs require a 550 on the TOEFL (on paper-based) or 213 (computer-based) in order to fulfill the English language requirement (for unrestricted status). The test must be recent—within one year prior to admission.

    Career

    The bachelor's degree in psychology provides excellent preparation for graduate school. For professional practice in the field, additional psychology courses in graduate school may be required. Recent developments indicate that an undergraduate degree in psychology also makes a sound basis for paraprofessional, community, and public affairs programs. The psychology student is advised to become a student member of the American Psychological Association and to study The Psychology Major and Career Opportunities for Psychologists published by that organization.
