Psychology
- The psychology major is designed for
those students who feel a call to work
in the mental health field as
therapists, counselors, or social
workers. Psychologists work in a variety
of settings including churches, schools,
mental health centers or hospitals. The
program at Lee emphasizes specifically
how the Christian faith interacts with
the theories and practices of
psychology. The psychology major is
designed for those intending to continue
their study of psychology at the
graduate level (PSYA) as well as those
seeking teacher licensure as preparation
for school counseling (PYAT). However,
knowledge of psychology is also an asset
in such fields as management, sales,
personnel work, information systems,
pastoral care, law, computer science and
public relations. Psychology helps
individuals understand human behavior
and enhances social skills,
communication and problem solving
skills. |

Sociology
The Bachelor of Arts in Sociology will
prepare students for employment in
various occupations, as well as equip
them to enter graduate or law school.
The sociology student may pursue a
general course of study in sociology or
choose among five emphases in the
discipline: (1) criminology and law (2)
graduate studies (3) family studies, (4)
human services (social work), and (5)
cross-cultural studies. Sociology is a
major which encourages a liberal arts
perspective and broad
discipline-training, with required
courses in social theory, statistics,
and research methods. Students are
prepared to enter a culturally diverse
world and to develop skills in writing,
critical thinking, and quantitative
methods. |
