Methodology

All lessons will give the students hands-on experiences.  Lectures will always be accompanied by demonstration, role playing, simulation activities and actual practicum.  Utilization of learning in actual situations would characterize the learning package.  The process of learning to be followed in most courses is acquisitional, experiential, and exploratory.  Over and above classroom meetings and discussions, problem-based and research-based learning and individual conferences with faculty members are encouraged.

Retention Policy

On the fourth and fifth year, a minimum grade of B+ is expected for each subject.  A student is allowed to get a maximum of three grades below B+ but not lower than B.  Automatic delisting takes place when a student gets a grade lower than B and/or when the student earns a fourth B.

The Graduate School of Psychology and Counseling reserves the right to decide on the retention of students manifesting attitudes and behaviors considered to be inimical to their performance as future managers, counselors and psychologists.  Such students may be delisted/retained upon the recommendation of a panel.
