Dr. Jennifer Apperson, Program Coordinator
434.395.2323, japperso@longwood.edu
The concentration in community and college counseling prepares students
to be professional counselors in community agencies or in college settings.
Students are provided with advanced clinical skills and learning theories,
techniques of counseling, and intervention strategies. Completion of the
degree qualifies students for jobs in community mental health, social services,
court services, rehabilitation agencies, counseling centers, student affairs
offices, youth development services, and residence halls. A teaching license
is not required for this program.
Students are cautioned to work closely with their advisers in planning
their studies since some courses have prerequisites and are sequenced to
begin with the fall semester.
Students interested in pursuing licensure as professional counselor
are advised to obtain and adhere to the regulations of the Virginia Board
of Counseling.
