Psychology

“My time spent as a psychology major at Eastern has been a truly wonderful experience. Being taught by faculty who lend themselves freely as mentors has allowed me a deeper insight into what it means to be a thinking, feeling, human being, as well as a Christian professional.”

[ James Mast, 2009 ]
