Sanjeev Kwatra wanted to pursue Psychology (Honours) from Delhi University (DU). But after he learnt about the limited choices in hand, the 17-year-old changed his mind. "There are only two colleges in DU that offer Psychology (Honours) to boys," he was told. "I always wanted to pursue Psychology from Hindu College or St Stephen's College but was disappointed when I realised that these colleges don't offer it," said Kwatra, a resident of Ludhiana who finally applied for Philosophy (Honours) and History (Honours) at these colleges. Psychology (Honours) is offered only in two co-education colleges across DU — Keshav Mahavidyalaya and Zakir Hussain College. The same course is offered in seven girls' colleges including Lady Shri Ram College for Women. "A lot of boys want to know about the availability of Psychology (Honours) in the college of their choice but most choose for other courses when they come to know about the lack of options," said Akshay Joshi, a student councellor. "Many boys leave the course after joining as they feel left out in a class full of girls," said Manmeet Sidhu, another student councellor. Applied Psychology (Honours) is also available in only two co-ed colleges – Sri Aurobindo College (Evening) and Bhim Rao Ambedkar College. But courses in Psychology are not the only ones that boys feel they are missing out on. "A lot of male students ask about the Bachelors in Mass Media and Mass Communication but it's offered only in IP College for Women," said G.S. Tuteja, deputy dean, Students' Welfare. "Courses in colleges are started on the basis of the facilities available," he added. Five Filters featured article: Into the Abyss. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. |

| OSU clinical psychology program builds Native American presence Posted: 08 Jun 2010 04:08 PM PDT Message from Five Filters: If you can, please donate to the full-text RSS service so we can continue developing it. STILLWATER, Okla. – Choctaw and Muscogee Creek tribal member Ashleigh Coser says sometimes it is challenging being a member of an underrepresented group on a college campus. Oklahoma State University is working to bolster the Native American presence in the field of psychology through its American Indians Into Psychology program, one of only three Indian Health Service programs of its kind in the nation. AIIP consists of two components, a six-week summer enrichment program and a scholarship program. During the six weeks, junior and senior undergraduates attend classes designed to prepare them for graduate school. They also participate in research and are assigned to a tribal urban mental health facility. Scholarships are available to Native American students working on a doctorate in clinical psychology at OSU. "AIIP is a great opportunity for Native American students to come together," said Coser, a senior psychology major and former AIIP fellow. "The program allows you to meet with Native American professionals who have been in your position and are now in the community." Coser hopes to follow in the footsteps of several of the program's alumni, including B.J. Boyd, deputy director of Cherokee Nation Behavioral Health Services in Tahlequah, Okla., and Chris Fore, of the Choctaw tribe, who is the director of behavioral health for the Albuquerque Area Indian Health Service. Other program alumni are making an impact across the nation in places like California, New Jersey, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Texas, Washington and Washington, D.C. Of the 116 former summer enrichment participants, 26 have earned a doctorate or are enrolled in doctoral programs nationwide, while 24 have earned or are currently enrolled in master's programs throughout the U.S. The program represents many Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee Creek and Navajo tribes. In its 13-year history, students representing 34 tribes have participated in the summer program. "My staff and I work all year recruiting students from across the nation to participate in the program," said Dr. John Chaney, a member of the Muscogee Creek tribe who is an OSU psychology professor and project director of AIIP. "We feel that it is critical to have a very diverse group of students." The program began in 1997 when federal funding was granted. AIIP receives funds on three-year cycles. Under the direction of Chaney and Patricia Alexander, director of the OSU Psychology Diversified Students program, AIIP also has founded a student mentor program, pairing psychology undergraduate students with graduate students to discuss job opportunities.
