School of Psychology and Counseling
Understand human behavior. CACREP & APA accredited.
Do you have a heart for people and a deep desire to make a difference in their lives? The Regent University School of Psychology & Counseling (SPC) can help you turn your desire into a meaningful career. Whether you’re interested in our counseling degrees or our psychology graduate programs, at Regent, you won’t just read about leading-edge mental health theories and treatment approaches; you can experience them first-hand through scholarly research, international service opportunities, and community partnerships.
Regent is one of only a handful of Christian institutions that offer programs accredited by both the American Psychological Association (APA)* and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP). We are committed to the idea that science and faith do not oppose each other, but in fact, complement one another. Clinicians and academicians educated at Regent are solidly grounded in both the science of human behavior and the faith-based principles of restoration and renewal. Ours is a distinctly Christian counseling degree approach, one that not only elevates individual practice but also the standards of the entire field.
*The Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation (CoA) of the American Psychological Association (APA). Contact the APA at Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242 or 202.336.5979.
