The Counseling Psychology Graduate Program currently offers a doctoral degree program of study.
Prospective applicants holding a bachelor's or a master's degree are welcome to apply.
The master's degree program is currently being restructured and admissions is suspended until further notice. The Doctoral Program in Counseling Psychology emphasizes an ecological model of training, research, and practice with a particular focus on prevention and treatment relevant to work with children, adolescents, families, and adults within their environments. The ecological model asserts that human behavior always occurs within a context and that these contexts must be considered if behaviors, cognitions, and emotions are to be understood. Assessment, intervention, and research are viewed within the unique social, historical, political, and cultural context in which they occur and students are trained to consider these contextual factors in all aspects of their work. As scientist-practitioners, students combine theory and research with clinical practice while working with individuals, children, families, and the community as a whole.
