Chair of Department's Message
Dr. Susan Gitau
Chair of Department
Welcome and thank you for visiting our department’s website. We offer several opportunities for students who are interested in pursuing graduate level training in Child Psychology, Addiction studies, Psychometrics, Marriage and Family Therapy. For the undergraduate level we offer general but very comprehensive Counseling Psychology course.
The Counseling Psychology department consists of experienced faculty, who has worked directly and extensively in the field of Counseling. This helps us to anticipate and respond to the needs of students who are looking for a degree that will enable them to make a difference in their world. We therefore work to provide students with tools necessary to interpret psychological theory and research from a Christian perspective.
We are also dedicated to fostering an environment in which students can gain an appreciation for helping in different contexts; such as community, online, workplace, hospital settings, schools, churches, Rehabilitation institutions and prisons. Whether you are a graduate or undergraduate student, our course offerings and programs will help develop and enhance your knowledge and skills. The programs are available in the three modes of learning; evening, open and distant learning and school based.
