Rehabilitation counseling is a dynamic, challenging and stimulating profession.
In rehabilitation counseling, you will learn the entire spectrum of human highs and lows, of human perfections and issues, and you will learn to accept these extremes as a way of life. In rehabilitation counseling you will work in partnership to help bring answers to some of the questions which arise when a person with a disability works toward vocational independence. An M.S. Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling is generic in nature. Thus upon graduation, a rehabilitation counselor is qualified to work in a wide variety of rehabilitation settings. A rehabilitation counselor can find employment within State Departments of Rehabilitation, in community rehabilitation programs as vocational evaluators, work adjustment specialists, vocational placement specialists, and other public supported agencies that provide vocational rehabilitation services to persons with disabilities.
