EDUCATIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT (EPS)

By exploring the scholarly and practical interconnections among individual, interpersonal, social, and community approaches to change, students learn to identify barriers to well-being and to implement effective change-oriented strategies and policies.
