Counselor Education Department Mission
The mission of the Counselor Education Department is to provide quality graduate education to persons seeking advanced study in counseling and related professions. Through didactic, experiential, and applied learning opportunities, students develop a personal theory and practice of counseling that will allow them to function as 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.
Community Counseling
Prepares persons for careers as professional counselors in public and private community counseling settings e.g., community mental health centers, social service agencies, correctional institutions, rehabilitation settings. Successful completion of the program leads to eligibility for counselor licensure in Minnesota and many other states. The Community Counseling concentration is accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Professions (CACREP) through 2008.
Admission Requirements
A developmental admissions process is in place to ensure that the most uniquely qualified students are identified, admitted and retained. This process is stated in the WSU Graduate Catalog, and described in detail in the Counselor Education department's Student Handbook.
