A review of academic catalogues (2014-2015) revealed relatively cohesive psychology course offerings across the 21 programs surveyed, along with variability in frequency of required courses across programs. Curricular content of these programs compared favorably with current (2013) APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Major. Intentional consideration of Christian anthropology and views of personhood was found less frequently than expected within the psychology curricula of these programs; however, general education offerings often provided opportunity to explore and better understand a Christian perspective on the nature of persons. Preliminary recommendations are presented regarding a curriculum that is true to the person. |
