Testimony
Nikia Pinson: PhD Student, SREB Doctoral Scholar Fellow @ University of Georgia
“Greenville University’s Online Psychology program provided a flexible yet rigorous curriculum that exposed me to highly qualified professors who prepared me for graduate school. I learned how to develop research skills that inform my scholarly and clinical work. I’m truly grateful for all the professors at GU who went above and beyond to support me while I was navigating school online and young kids at home.”

Cap off your studies by developing a personal vocational mission statement, presenting a plan for career development and connecting it to your values and ethics as informed by the Christian faith.
