Description
Community Action Psychology is an interdisciplinary minor offered by the Psychology Department that equips students to promote individual and community well-being through action and research. Through courses that emphasize lived experience in an ecological context, analyze the causes and consequences of social inequality, explore social change efforts, and apply theories and evidence to real world social issues, the curriculum provides foundational knowledge and skills to build more equitable and just community-based settings, programs, and policies. The goal of the Community Action Psychology minor is to expand pathways and preparation for students interested in pursuing careers in promoting individual well-being, empowerment, and mental health within community-based settings. Students will learn how to apply research to analyze and address social problems at multiple levels of analysis in a broad range of settings.
