Issues related to student diversity will be addressed in each of the courses in the Counselor Education Program. This means that differences in individuals and groups will be discussed. It is our understanding that different contexts result in different worldviews. Counselors must always be sensitive to the possible differences in perception and belief that exist outside of their own.
