Program Objectives
The MS in Counseling program is designed to prepare professional counselors as human development teachers or facilitators whose primary function is to help individuals enhance life adjustment, facilitate personal growth, and expand behavioral competencies so that they can cope more effectively with their environment. Through the program students increase their self-awareness, their sensitivity to others, and their effectiveness as facilitators as they develop skills in counseling.
Program Description
The program is based on a developmental socialization model of intervention, which recognizes that at each developmental stage—throughout the lifespan, individuals face tasks that can lead to problems needing professional assistance. Counselor education is based on the belief that effective counselors are both personally and professionally integrated. For this reason, a balance between didactic and experiential learning is maintained.
