3. Clinical & Counseling Psychology Summer Minor Info Sessions

The Clinical & Counseling Psychology summer minor allows students to explore the diverse career paths of clinical and counseling psychology with 2 core courses and 3 elective options. The curriculum focuses on basic psycho-biological and sociocultural mechanisms (e.g., neurobiology, social relationships, culture/race/ethnicity) that underlie common mental health problems across the life span. It also provides an overview of major theories and issues/debates in applied mental health professions across different practice settings (e.g., schools, independent practice, hospitals, and industry).  

Join us for our info sessions on our summer minor from Feb - April! Come learn about opportunities to serve in the mental health field by completing the minor in one or two consecutive summers. More information can be found on our minor website here. A $1,500 scholarship is available through summer sessions for eligible students.
