This program focuses on cultivating socially conscious professionals skilled in creating, executing, and assessing comprehensive initiatives that emphasize educational prevention through developmentally suitable and culturally aware methods.
The 60-unit Master of Science in Counseling curriculum aligns with university and program standards, ensuring all candidates gain substantial knowledge breadth, practical experience, and research exposure.
