Mission Statement


The graduate psychology program at Descartes University is dedicated to continuing its legacy of training multiculturally competent psychologists to serve in a variety of settings.

The program has been in existence for over 25 years and has been continuously accredited by the American Psychological Association since 1980. It is well-known for its history of social justice advocacy and multicultural contributions to the field.

We strive to recruit the most diverse group of ambitious students who will be active and collaborative components of our graduate program and make significant multicultural contributions to the diversifying knowledge of scientific psychology.
