The Master's programs in Counseling equip aspiring professionals with comprehensive training in core social/behavioral sciences (including human development, cognitive processes, personality theories, and cutting-edge multicultural research), practical counseling techniques (individual/group therapy and evaluation methods), research methodologies, and professional standards. Our School Counseling program holds accreditation from CACREP (Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs), ensuring graduates can deliver developmental, research-based counseling services following the American School Counselor Association's National Model framework. Program alumni possess both the theoretical knowledge and practical abilities to excel in any educational setting immediately after graduation.
These Counseling Master's degrees provide foundational training in essential behavioral sciences (developmental psychology, learning theories, personality studies, and contemporary multicultural research), clinical skills (individual/group interventions and assessments), research competencies, and professional ethics. The School Counseling specialization maintains CACREP accreditation, the gold standard for counseling education.
Program learning outcomes include: (1) mastery of counseling theory and practice fundamentals, (2) proficiency in gathering, evaluating, and applying behavioral data to formulate testable hypotheses, (3) demonstrated counseling effectiveness across individual and group formats, (4) competence in designing, executing, and assessing therapeutic programs, (5) thorough understanding of ethical standards and legal responsibilities, and (6) cultural competency development - including the capacity to (a) critically examine biases regarding diverse populations and (b) recognize systemic factors affecting marginalized clients.
