Latino Bilingual Track

Description

The Latino Bilingual Track within the School of Professional Psychology combines academic and clinical training experiences intended to prepare students to provide culturally relevant psychological services to Spanish speaking populations. The track provides students entering the program with at least an intermediate level of Spanish fluency, an opportunity to take courses with an emphasis on improving mental health/addictions Spanish vocabulary, train in culturally appropriate therapy and assessment interventions, and participate in a Latino Immersion course as an international study opportunity.

Students in this Track will have priority placement in practicum and clinical fieldwork settings that provide services to Spanish speaking individuals.
