The Psychology department at CSU enhanced my college experience by instructing me in light of the Gospel, challenging me to push myself further than I knew I was able, and getting to know me on an individual basis. I formed relationships with professors and students which have lasted long past graduation, and the information I learned has continued to impact my life personally and professionally. I will always be grateful for the Jesus-centered education I received from intelligent, kind and intentional professors who were consistently committed to my success.
