The APA-approved counseling psychology program emphasizes research and applications in counseling for work adjustment and adjustment to stressful life events. Specialized work is also offered in vocational assessment and career planning, interest measurement and career choice, coping strategies and reactions to victimization, and student counseling.
All students complete a practicum and an internship.
The program provides preparation for academic and research careers with an emphasis on assessment, testing, and empirical research. Supporting programs allow additional preparation in areas such as neuroscience, industrial relations, or gerontology. Individuals interested only in counseling practice may not find the program suitable for their purposes.
