The Graduate Studies Program in Counselor Education has three program pathways. The first, School Counseling, prepares students to become either PK-12 school counselors. The second, Agency Counseling, prepares students to work in non-profit and governmental mental health agencies. The third, Higher Education Counseling, prepares students to work in colleges and universities in student affairs and academic affairs offices.
The three pathways share a common foundation of coursework in counseling theory and skills, followed by a series of specialized courses and internships that are designed to provide the guided experience needed to be successful in a specific pathway.
Students will consult with the Program Director at the point of admission to determine which pathway the student intends to follow. Students may change their decision at any time while completing Strand I below, but may not change after that point without completing additional coursework.
