These categories incorporate the American Psychological Association's (APA) Guidelines for the Undergraduate Major and the American Counseling Association's (ACA) values. These categories include:
- Scientific knowledge and critical thinking
- Empowerment of social diversity and justice
- Ethical practice characterizing integrity
