Counselors Making a Difference

The Mission of the Counselor Education Department is to prepare effective counselors, leaders, and agents of change in a variety of professional counseling settings. The department is committed to multicultural education and to preparing students for respectful, responsible work with clients reflecting the broad diversity of society.

The department offers three concentrations leading to the Master of Science degree: Community Counseling, School Counseling, and Professional Development (a non-counseling option). All concentrations are accredited by the Council for Accredited Counseling Related Education Programs (CACREP) and recognized for state licensure in both school and community counseling. The department is also a Companion University in the Education Trust Initiative for transforming school counselor training seeking to prepare counselors as change agents with all students as well as the systems in which they live and work.
