Counselor Education Master’s of Education
About the Program
The Counselor Education Master’s of Education (M.Ed.) prepares candidates for professional careers as counselors in schools or clinical mental health settings (including private practice). The School Counseling M.Ed. program prepares candidates who are eligible to become certified school counselors while the Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) M.Ed. program prepares candidates who are eligible to become Licensed Professional Counselors. The School Counseling and CMHC programs are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). This nationally recognized CACREP-accreditation ensures that both programs adhere to the highest standards regarding training counselors. The notion of social justice is promoted within the programs as candidates become aware of social barriers and possibilities regarding future professional aspirations. Both programs provide learning opportunities and experiences whereby candidates build awareness, knowledge, and skills as a culturally sensitive counselor while aspiring to become a change agent in schools and communities.
Each program is structured in a meaningful manner that allows the candidate to grow personally, educationally, and professionally as a dynamic counselor who is prepared to enhance the lives of diverse students and/or clients across the lifespan. All of the full-time Counselor Educationprogram faculty are strong advocates for the counseling profession, hold doctoral degrees, and have significant professional experience. Several faculty hold professional licensure (LPC), state certification, and/or national certification. Faculty members frequently present at professional conferences and quite often in collaboration with counseling students.
