How does the graduate curriculum address multicultural issues?
Several courses address the psychology of diversity and multicultural competence. The Departments course, PSY600 Multicultural Issues in Psychology, is a recommended experience for all graduate students, and can be used to meet one element of the multicultural competency requirement. Examples of other courses include: PSY625 Psychology of Trauma, PSY672 Multicultural Practicum, PSY690 Women’s and Men’s Health, PSY692 Directed Readings/Research, and PSY696 Practicum in Teaching Psychology. The Department recently endorsed the establishment of the Multicultural Focus area, a concentration in multicultural psychology involving several courses and experiences, that is undergoing development.
