Founded in 1864, the University of Denver (DU) is an independent, R1

doctoral-granting university with robust undergraduate and graduate education.

DU has become increasingly known, nationally and internationally, for its creative, 21st-century approaches to problem-based scholarship, as well as its holistic, student-centered approach to learning and its dedication to the public good through local, national, and international partnerships. The University plays an integral role in the cultural, social, economic, and educational vibrancy of the fast-growing city and region it calls home. DU has a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

The DEI

Action Plan serves as a guide to DU’s abiding commitment to truly embodying a forward-looking institution and community where all can belong, contribute, and thrive and includes three senior administrators in the chancellor’s cabinet who have direct accountability for DEI work.

programs in the country, under the Vail (practitioner-scholar) training model.

GSPP currently also offers four specialized master’s programs: Forensic

Psychology, International Disaster Psychology: Trauma and Global Mental Health,

Sport and Performance Psychology, and Sport Coaching, as well as online certificates and continuing education. GSPP also has a partially affiliated,

APA-accredited internship consortium and several in-house and satellite psychology training clinics that serve Denver and the surrounding communities.

As a professional school, GSPP promotes and utilizes high-level pedagogy that integrates applied practice, theory, research, and scholarship. The psychology internship program was established at the University of Denver

- The DU GSPP Internship Consortium consists of several sites in the Denver area, operating together under the direction of the Internship Consortium

Director. GSPP seeks to train students to provide culturally responsive services to clients and the community. Although more progress is continually needed, GSPP endeavors to create an accessible, affirming, and safe climate by actively engaging in the process of systemic transformation and responsive accountability.
