The program offers accelerated, seven-week modules (or courses) available in the evenings once a week. DCP curricular are designed to integrate theories and concepts learned within the classroom to everyday work. Thus the program is for working (paid or voluntary) adults. Methods of instruction reflect APU’s active learning philosophy. Classroom learning experiences include attending lectures, doing self-directed studies, engaging in independent research, participating in peer-group learning, executing projects, writing and reflection, etc.

• Understanding theoretical foundations that underlie the subject disciplines
• Promoting self direction through independent work
• Developing/enhancing problem solving skills
• Gaining a deeper understanding of ethical responsibilities of the profession(s)
• Understanding the discipline in the context of the larger natural, cultural, social and ethical environments in which they operate.
