【 摘 要 】

This exploratory study compares the effectiveness of multicultural training across two classrooms of counselors-in-training at a predominately white institutionone which was homogenous in class composition; the other which was diverse in class composition. Results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between classrooms and that individual students demonstrated statistically significant change in perceived multicultural competence. Such findings highlight the need for ongoing research that explores influence of classroom composition on cultural competency training for counseling graduate students.
