A Positive, Holistic Approach
A psychology degree from Life University is like no other.
Our programs harness the cutting edge of knowledge and
innovation in positive psychology, an emerging branch of the
profession that uses an individual’s strengths as the foundation
and motivation for achieving higher levels of personal and
professional performance and life satisfaction.
Coursework in our psychology degree programs adheres to
guidelines set by the American Psychological Association (APA)
(though we are constantly pioneering within those parameters),
and students move on from LIFE ready and able to succeed
in subsequent graduate programs. B.S. candidates also
have the uniquely exciting opportunity to earn a Certificate
in Coaching Psychology along with their Bachelor’s degree.
The additional challenge of pursuing both programs is
rewarded with even more marketable skills, and a straight-towork option for those looking to apply their knowledge now.
A Partner in Health Education
Graduates of LIFE’s psychology
programs empower people to improve
their own lives, and guide them to
make healthier choices. They assess
and care for those struggling with
mental, emotional and behavioral
issues. They teach people to learn;
test the mind’s limits; tip the scales of
our justice system; and help companies
improve the lives of their employees,
while simultaneously improving their bottom lines. They work in private
practice, in hospitals, outpatient clinics, schools, companies large and
small, in the sporting arena and beyond.
Psychology touches every aspect of human function, performance and our
daily lives. Because of this, many students choose to earn their undergraduate
degrees in psychology, even if they have not yet chosen a career path.
According to the APA, “With a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, students
often possess good research and writing skills, are good problem solvers, and
have well-developed, higher-level thinking abilities for analyzing, synthesizing,
and evaluating information.” With a Bachelor’s degree from LIFE, you’ll
possess all this and more.
The APA reports that the profession is moving toward a greater focus on
illness prevention, rather than mere diagnosis and treatment – which means
it’s catching up to LIFE. Our programs not only equip students with the
traditional knowledge and tools of the trade, they create passionate, curious,
lifelong learners and innovators who never underestimate the power of
the human mind, body and spirit to overcome, adapt and transform.
This is why a positive psychology model is such a great fit for LIFE.
Our graduates leave here with a deep understanding and respect for the
interconnectedness of brain and body, and our uniquely human strengths;
a variety of proven tools and techniques through which to share that
understanding, and to guide others to explore, expand and realize their
potential; and a worldview that sees opportunities and challenges instead
of obstacles – all fueled by the power of positivity.
