Cornerstone University prepares students to apply the practical principles of psychology to their careers. With four separate concentrations, students will be able to dive deeper into facets of social science that will give them a clearer understanding of marriage and family psychology, clinical psychology and counseling. The child and adolescent services track, as well as the marriage & family track, equip students with an understanding of family dynamics and communication and can be applied in counseling and social work settings. The psychological science and practice track can prepare students for private practice in psychology or further research on the graduate level. Students in the counseling track become adept in understanding relational dynamics and best practices for counseling.
