The Doctor of Philosophy in Education specializing in Counseling aims to equip professional counselors with the skills to lead in the counseling field. Effective counseling leaders must excel as practitioners, mentors, educators, investigators, and academics. This curriculum strengthens doctoral candidates' therapeutic abilities, trains them for supervisory and administrative positions, hones their instructional techniques, instructs them in research methodologies, and cultivates their scholarly expertise. Graduates will be qualified to serve as professors in counselor education departments and as pioneers across diverse counseling disciplines (such as mental health counseling and school counseling).
