Σύνοψη:The structure and sequence of course offerings in undergraduate psychology programs has far-reaching implications for the field. Stoloff et al. (2009) stress that "the success of the discipline of psychology [...]This paper presents the first comprehensive survey of undergraduate psychology curriculum of the member schools of the Coalition for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). Reviews of the academic catalogs for the 2014-2015 school year revealed a common emphasis on empirical methodology courses yet significant variability among programs in terms of core requirements, course category distinctions, specialized track offerings, and approaches to integration of faith and psychology. Results suggest that CCCU psychology programs are consistent with the APA's recommendations in terms of scientific inquiry courses and variety of content areas offered. Course requirements, however, suggest that students may be exposed to a fairly narrow range of material, limiting their understanding of the interconnections among specialties in the field and yielding an incomplete view of personhood. It is proposed that these concerns may be addressed by using a Biblical view of persons as a guide to a more coherent undergraduate psychology core.
