we educate our students at Taylor more fully than is possible at a public institution.

The third way that a psychology degreefrom Taylor is different than onefrom a public university is found in a faculty who openly expresses a love for Jesus Christ and who provides a lifestyle example for the students. The faculty provides free counseling to students, they pray with and for their students and they are willing to be teachable in front of the students. PSYCHOLOGY -- A VALID DEGREE -Dr. C.

STUDY TRIP TO ALBANIA

A team of 13 Taylor students, along with Dr. and Mrs. Vance Maloney (psychology), traveled from May 29-June 16. to the most economically underdeveloped country in Europe, Albania. The purpose of the experience was to create an understanding of the issues surrounding the development of the counseling and psychological service profes- sions in a former communist republic. The group investigated the topic of cross cultural counseling against the backdrop of history, culture, and social problems of Albania.

This study experience offered the distinctive of learning both from the traditional classroom as well as the classroom of life. The team worked at the University of Tirane to help establish a counseling program emphasizing a Christian world view. Workshops and seminars for beginning a clinical psychology program were conducted for Albanian students and faculty. The team also studied Albanian culture, history and social problems at the University. Ministering at a vocational school established by ProMission, discipling orphaned teenagers and working within the school system to bring Christianity to a "secular" (and primarily Muslim) country, was part of the experience. The team also shared the principles of psychology to help educators with the education process.
