Spanglish Decolonial Healing Advanced Certificate

Academic Plan Code: 331013ACTS

The Spanglish Decolonial Healing Advanced Certificate is offered to Spanish and/or Spanglish speaking students across any disciplines, heritage or geographical locations. The purpose of this online certificate is to engage students in decolonial explorations of healing projects, departing from their borderland raciolinguistics conditions. Students will advance healing or transformative projects in their own contexts that are delinked, parallel or within but counter to English, Western institutions, professions, knowledges and practices.

Students with the required linguistic proficiency in Spanish and who are admitted or enrolled in any of the SDSU Master’s programs in the Counseling and School Psychology department will be admitted to the certificate.
