Our distinguished programs are nationally approved and state accredited, where appropriate. The department welcomes applicants from diverse academic, social, cultural and international backgrounds.
Admission is granted twice per year, with screening and notification occuring the semester before.
The applicant must apply to both the University and to the Department. The departmental application deadline is the first Friday in March for Fall admission, and the first Friday in October for Spring admission. Applicants who do not meet specific requirements but, nevertheless, show strength in other areas will be individually considered by the faculty selection committee. Admission into the Department of Counselor Education on a conditionally classified basis does not guarantee advancement to classified standing or candidacy. It is also based on the Department's on-going assessment of the student's aptitude and suitability for the counseling profession, progress in skill development, interpersonal and cultural sensitivity, and professional ethical conduct.
