Bring an International Perspective to your Psychology Practice!

Take an international approach to the diverse field of psychology by using Italy and Greece as the site and inspiration for your learning.

The program will begin in Rome, Italy and then move on to Athens, Greece where students are able to participate, gain important contacts and learn at the 7th Annual International Conference on Psychology, hosted by the Athens Institute for Education and Research. Visits to Vatican City and the Coliseum in Rome, as well as the Acropolis and National Archaeological Museum in Athens will have you out-and-about exploring two of the world’s most historically rich cities!

These intensive firsthand experiences will enable students to move from an ethnocentric treatment model and bring a multi-cultural perspective to their psychology service delivery.
