The Counselor Education program offers five (5) tracks for college graduates interested in preparing for counseling roles in a wide variety of settings from elementary schools to mental health centers. Students will receive solid grounding in the theoretical frameworks of counseling and how they translate into individual and group interventions tailored to individual client needs. Graduates will assist clients in self-discovery, personal growth, and in making healthy lifestyle choices. A teaching license is not required for admission to this program. All tracks culminate in a supervised field experience.

NOTE: Students are cautioned to work closely with their advisors in planning their studies since some courses have prerequisites and are sequenced to begin with the fall semester.

Advising

Newly admitted students are assigned the appropriate advisor. The assignment of the advisor generally is not changed unless the student changes his/her degree program. Prior to registration, students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisor regarding course selection and sequence, career goals, and relevant academic policies. Although the academic advisor assists students with curriculum decisions and options, the student bears full responsibility for meeting graduation requirements.
