Course Descriptions
COUN 515i: Multicultural Counseling (3 units)
COUN 515 will examine multicultural counseling, with an emphasis on being culturally responsive for work in clinical mental health and school counseling settings. Students are introduced to academic and experiential activities designed at increasing self-awareness as well as multicultural counseling skills. Gender, race/ethnicity, social economic status, generational, and regional identifications both nationally and internationally are among some of the areas explored. A wide range of exercises and reflection activities are used to in order to increase empathy, skills, research, and understanding needed for delivering counseling services to diverse clinical populations.
COUN 510i: Career Development Across Lifespans (3 units)
COUN 510 introduces school and clinical mental health counseling students to the theories and methods for providing career counseling, programs, services and resources to various school and community settings. Participants will learn about and reflect upon the role of work throughout the ages and how work is a central theme within the lives of many people. The course provides opportunities for participants to discuss and integrate modern career counseling theories into their future practices. Participants will engage in both group and individual projects to learn how to use career counseling theories, career counseling assessments, respond effectively to career counseling cases, and locate and design career counseling interventions and activities.
