5. Justification (must cite accreditation and/or assessment by the graduate faculty) for new course
or course revision or course renumbering:
The clinical health concentration of the PhD program in Health Psychology is preparing
for accreditation review by the American Psychological Association. One of the APA
guidelines is that students receive training in multicultural differences. We propose this
new course to ensure full compliance with this guideline. Also, an assessment by the
graduate faculty has determined that a course that provides students with a foundation
in cultural psychology would be helpful for the MA program in School Psychology and
the other PhD concentrations.

PSYC 6407. Cultural Psychology (3)
