About Us

*updated 6/1/08

Counseling is providing expert, specialized assistance to a client. It stresses the facilitation of human development, rational thinking and planning, problem solving, decision making, and stress management in practical situations. Counseling generally focuses on helping individuals with problems and concerns arising from everyday life.

The Department of Counselor Education offers a program leading to the degree of Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance. The program of this professional degree requires 3 years (year-round) part-time enrollment considering most students work full time. In practice, that means attendance in 6 (six) regular semesters plus 2 (two) summer sessions in a hybrid online environment. Future counselors will specialize in Rehabilitation Counseling.
