Behavioral Science Minor

  • On-Campus

Ever wonder what makes us tick? With a minor in behavioral science at Grace College, you’ll dive into the “hows” and “whys” of human behavioral patterns.

Our School of Behavioral Science finds its foundation in God’s word, especially in our belief that all humans are made in the image of God. We train future psychologists, counselors, social workers, and law enforcement officials to serve other image-bearers with compassion and competence.

With a minor in behavioral science, you’ll be free to shape your own curriculum, choosing core courses in psychology, counseling, or criminal justice. And whether you’re interested in social psychology, personality theory, grief and loss, or the American correctional system, you’ll specialize with electives that fit your unique passions and career interests.

When you graduate with a minor in behavioral science, you’ll be equipped to apply your knowledge to any profession. You may work in case management, home-based services, clinical psychology, or countless other areas.

  • Critical Thinkers

Voices of Grace

“At Grace College, I have had the opportunity to learn about common human behaviors from a wide range of perspectives including a biblical perspective. The professors in the Behavioral Science Department desire to see you grow in both intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. They challenge me to test my knowledge and apply concepts and skills I have learned. I am being equipped to seek the value Christ has given us all and help others see it in themselves.”
