Ba in Psychology
The BA in Psychology program in Pleasant Hill and Campbell
engages students in a lively process of intellectual inquiry,
self-discovery, critical thinking, creative synthesis, and
interpersonal communication. We explore traditional and
contemporary theories and methods that provide a strong
foundation in the field of psychology. We also offer a uniquely
expansive and integrative approach that explores emerging trends
and innovative applications in psychology and allied fields. In a
creative curriculum that includes lecture, dialogue, and experiential
processes, our students investigate psychodynamic, behavioral,
cognitive, somatic, humanistic, transpersonal, cross-cultural, and
ecological approaches. We value the whole person—mind, body,
heart, and sprit—and study human behavior, consciousness, and
psychological development within various contexts.

implicit in religious and philosophical assumptions.
• Acquire appreciation and understanding of spiritual practices.
• Develop the confidence and abilities needed for active
partici pation in the project of rethinking and recreating human
cul ture.
The program also offers two optional specializations: one in
Transpersonal Studies and one in Counseling. The Transpersonal
Studies specialization examines the connections between
psychology and spirituality, the nature of spiritual experience, and
the use of spiritual practices for transforming consciousness and
behavior. The Counseling specialization offers an introduction to
key counseling theories and practices, as well as an understanding
of group dynamics, somatic psychology, and community
psychology.
Because we prize good relationships, we are devoted to supporting
the growth and well being of our students and to fostering a sense
of community among students, faculty and staff. Personalized
advising, coupled with a dynamic interdisciplinary curriculum,
facilitates both academic development and personal transformation
and so serves as a powerful pathway to professional or graduate
work. our graduates have developed vital ways of understanding,
