Work with accessible professors

JBU’s psychology professors actively challenge you to consider the relationship between biblical truth and psychological truth through rigorous coursework and research projects.

I chose JBU online for many reasons. My first reason was that JBU offered my major: psychology. Second, the courses were online which, with a full-time job, being a mother and a wife, trying to make on-campus courses seemed impossible and, honestly, terrifying... I feel as though my degree has always helped me to understand others... Not only does my degree help in this regard, it allows me to understand how the brain functions.
