Diversity Science Minor for Psychology Graduate Students

The graduate minor in Diversity Science within Psychology cuts across the PhD programs in Psychology. The minor provides a mechanism for students to deepen their understanding of theories, methods and research relevant to studying minority populations. It gives formal recognition to students who, in addition to their graduate major, elect to specialize in diversity science.
