The Department of Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology and ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ are committed to social justice. These commitments are reflected in the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Statement on Human Dignity and Diversity, which reads, "As a Catholic, Jesuit university, Marquette recognizes and cherishes the dignity of each individual regardless of age, culture, faith, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, language, disability or social class."
Our department emphasizes the importance of diversity and multicultural influences on development in all our programs, including our course work, research, and practicum and internship training. The department expects that all faculty and students will engage in respectful explorations of issues regarding diversity and multiculturalism as we develop more fully our commitment to social justice. Faculty and students are expected to explore their own attitudes, knowledge and behaviors with regard to various forms of discrimination so the quality of our research, teaching and practice improves.
As part of our commitment to diversity and social justice, the department is working to increase racial and ethnic diversity among our students and faculty.
