I hope this material will answer some of your preliminary questions about Eastern Illinois University. A campus visit and interview with two members of the Department of Counseling and Student Development is required for those students wishing admission to the department, as well as for a graduate assistantship. When you apply for admission to the Graduate School, you will receive notification of Departmental admissions requirements. Students selected for Graduate Assistantships in Student Life and Housing and Dining Services are admitted to the graduate program upon completion of the departmental interviews and a completed Departmental Admissions Application. It is necessary to be admitted both to the Graduate School and to the Department for full enrollment in the program.
Formal admission occurs only in the fall of the year.
I will arrange time to meet with you to discuss the ways in which our graduate program can facilitate your professional development. Please do visit our growing campus. I look forward to meeting you in person. In the mean time, please check the College Student Personnel Program Website for more details.
