Help people flourish

Develop a deep understanding of human behavior—so that you can help people meet their full potential as image-bearers of God.

Here, you won't study human behavior from afar. You'll explore its nuances firsthand. That might mean working with autism patients in Grand Rapids’ own world-renowned children’s hospital. Or counseling struggling patients at a local health services clinic. It means intense courses where you will dive deep into big topics like addiction, justice, prejudice, stigma, and human health. It means learning from Christian faculty whose office doors are always open.

When you graduate, you'll be more than ready for grad school, med school, or a career in anything from healthcare to human services to business.
