What is Computing Sciences/Computer Science/Computer Information Systems? Computer science is the study of the theory and practice of computation. A computer scientist creates new hardware and software that is more efficient, effective, and reliable. Computer information systems is the study of the use of computers for systematic organization of data that supports efficient and accurate collection, processing, analysis and retrieval of information. An information system specialist applies existing technology to solve real world problems. Both incorporate aspects of several other fields: mathematics, to analyze the properties of algorithms and data structures; engineering, to design and construct practical programs and machines; the experimental sciences, both to investigate the behavior of programs running on real machines and to use programs for modeling scientific phenomena; the cognitive sciences, to develop “intelligent” programs and to study computation in relation to human intelligence; and business administration, to identify information needs of organizations. Computer science and computer information systems are young and rapidly developing fields. Presently, their chief areas, reflected in regular course offerings at the University, are: algorithms, data structures, programming languages, software engineering, object-oriented design and development, systems analysis, software project management, computer organization, architecture, operating systems, artificial intelligence, decision support and expert systems, computer networks, computer and network security, database systems, data mining, web publishing, multimedia, electronic commerce, etc. Other areas are covered in independent study and topics courses. In addition, students can gain valuable job experience through internship programs and Brockport Career Exploration courses (BCEC). The programs offered by the department provide students with an excellent basis for a variety of careers and for graduate study. Possible careers include programming, system analysis and design, maintenance, management and user support of software in areas such as business, science, engineering, and computer systems. Fields of graduate study include computer science, mathematics, information systems, information management, and various areas of science and engineering.

Accreditation and Assessment SUNY Brockport, State University of New York is accredited by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York, Room 110 EB, Albany, NY 12234; (518) 474-5889 and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education , 3624 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19104-2680; (215) 662-5606. In addition, several undergraduate and/or graduate programs are accredited by other agencies. In particular, the Advanced Computing (AC) Track of the Computer Science major and the Computer Information Systems major are accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org; 415 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201; (410) 347-7700. ABET, Inc. ABET is a recognized accreditor of college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology. ABET is a not-for-profit organization, owned and operated by its more than 25 professional and technical member societies. An internationally respected organization with some 1,500 volunteers, ABET has set the higher-educational standards in its fields for nearly 75 years. ABET has been recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) since 1997. What is accreditation? Accreditation is a voluntary, peer-review process that requires programs to undergo comprehensive, periodic evaluations. ABET accreditation is assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students. For example, an accredited computer science program must meet the quality standards set by the computing profession. The quality standards accreditation requires are set by the ABET professions themselves. This is made possible by the collaborative efforts of many different professional and technical societies. These societies and their members work together through ABET to develop the standards, and they provide the professionals who evaluate the programs to make sure they meet those standards. The evaluations, conducted by teams of volunteer professionals working in industry, government, academe, and private practice within the ABET disciplines, focus on program curricula, faculty, facilities, institutional support, and other important areas. Why is accreditation important? Our accreditation is important to all constituents (stakeholders) for the following reasons: - Students and Parents: Accreditation helps students and their parents choose quality college programs. Students and parents can be proud of the education and feel confident that their time and money are well spent. - Employers: Accreditation assures that the graduates are well-prepared and that employers can count on the graduates to meet their needs. - Graduate Schools: Accreditation assures that the graduates are well-prepared and are ready for advanced study and independent research. - Licensure and Certification Boards: Accreditation is used by registration, licensure, and certification boards to screen applicants. - Faculty of the Department of Computer Science: Accreditation provides the department a structured mechanism to assess, evaluate, and improve the programs. - College Administration and the Taxpayers of the State: Accreditation helps the college administration recognize the strengths and weaknesses of various academic programs, and channel resources accordingly. Accreditation serves the critical function of accountability for the funds provided by the taxpayers of the State of New York. - Funding Agencies and Donors: Accreditation helps funding agencies and donors recognize quality college programs. Some agencies earmark scholarships for students in ABET-accredited programs. Assessment One of the key elements of ABET accreditation is the requirement that programs continuously improve the quality of education provided. As part of this continuous improvement requirement, programs set specific, measurable goals for their students and graduates, assess their success at reaching those goals, and improve their programs based on the results of their assessment. ABET uses the following basic definitions - Program Educational Objectives: Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program’s constituencies. - Student Outcomes: Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program. - Assessment: Assessment is one or more processes that identify, collect, and prepare data to evaluate the attainment of student outcomes and program educational objectives. Effective assessment uses relevant direct, indirect, quantitative and qualitative measures as appropriate to the outcome or objective being measured. Appropriate sampling methods may be used as part of an assessment process. - Evaluation: Evaluation is one or more processes for interpreting the data and evidence accumulated through assessment processes. Evaluation determines the extent to which student outcomes and program educational objectives are being attained. Evaluation results in decisions and actions regarding program improvement. The Department of Computer Science at SUNY Brockport is committed to continuous program improvement. The department has well-documented program educational objectives that are regularly reviewed and modified if found necessary. The department has clearly-stated student outcomes that are consistent with the objectives. The outcomes are regularly assessed and evaluated to provide appropriate feedback for curriculum revision. How can students, alumni, employers, and others help? ABET accreditation is a significant achievement. We have worked hard to ensure that our program meets the quality standards set by the profession. And, because it requires comprehensive, periodic evaluations, ABET accreditation demonstrates our continuing commitment to the quality of our program - both now and in the future. We are proud of the ABET accreditation and so should you be! There are a number of ways in which students and alumni can be of help. - All students: In almost all classes taught by the department, student reactions to instruction data are collected every semester, using the instructional assessment system (IAS) instrument, in the last three weeks of classes. Students not only provide answers to a standard questionnaire, but also provide written narrative feedback. This feedback provided by students is invaluable to the department. - Graduating Seniors: All graduating seniors are requested to contact the Department Chair or the Advisement Coordinator and let them know of their plans for graduation at the beginning of the semester in which they plan to graduate. Graduating seniors are requested to complete an Exit Survey and participate in an Exit Interview conducted in the second half of the semester. The exit survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. The exit interview should take about 30 minutes. By providing balanced, fair, and frank feedback, students can help the department identify strengths and weaknesses in instruction, advisement, scheduling, etc. Graduating seniors are also expected to provide the department a non-Brockport email address that they plan to use once out of school. We are not interested in email addresses with employers or local Internet Service Providers as they may not be valid after switching jobs or leaving town. We prefer Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL email addresses. The department uses these email addresses to contact the alumni for a variety of reasons. Alumni: Around December of every year, the Office of Career Services gathers placement information from graduates of the previous December or May.

SUNY Brockport’s Department of Computing Science offers much more than the generic in-classroom experience. We strive to offer unique opportunities that engage our students in ways that will help them advance their careers in multiple ways. Programming Contests Our department offers students the opportunity to participate in multiple programming contests that are hosted in and around the local region. Groups of students are mentored by a faculty member and work together to solve coding problems at these contests. Through these activities, our students are able to remain engaged in our field of study. Hands-on Experience with Local Businesses (CIS 487, IT for Development) This course requires students to evaluate micro-business technology needs, prepare technology plans, provide training, and implement solutions. Students will develop technical training and trust building skills to address IT needs. It also provides an opportunity to apply knowledge from the classroom by working in a professional setting. The University has worked hard to maintain their mutually beneficial relationship with a plethora of local businesses in the Rochester area. These businesses have grown to trust the University through employment of our new graduates after university. That relationship all starts here, where local businesses come into the classroom and work hands-on with our students, building a relationship with them before they have even graduated. Read about how one of our students used what he learned in CIS 487 to create an app now used by current and prospective Brockport students. Faculty-Student-Industry Networking Social Each semester (typically during the 10th week of classes) students are invited to attend this event. This is an informal gathering that offers students the opportunity to meet with faculty and often alumni and prospective employers. Occasionally, students will present about their internship experiences. In the Spring, we recognize our awards winners. These are our highest achieving students, including the program scholars, who receive a plaque and monetary award sponsored by Eugene Spafford, one of our most distinguished alumni. Independent Study (CIS 499 or CSC 499) Through the Computer Science or Information Systems independent study course , students can earn one to three credits for one semester of independent, but supervised, study or project work completed in an academic setting. The option is intended to enrich the student’s knowledge in an area that is not covered by regular course offerings. Students interested in pursuing a graduate program are strongly urged to consider the independent study course to test out their potential for independent research and advanced study. Senior Thesis (CIS/CSC 493) Through the Senior Thesis option, students can earn three credits for one or two semesters of independent, but supervised, project work completed in an academic setting. The option is intended to enrich the student’s knowledge of computer applications, theory, software or hardware, and to develop skills in analyzing problems involving current computing technologies. Computing Sciences Internship and Co-op Programs There is a wide variety of internship opportunities for students both on-campus and off-campus. There are jobs and internship fairs in both semesters. Contact the Office of Career Services for details. There are also a number of on-campus opportunities available. Check with ITS Drake Laboratories, other campus laboratories, and Telecommunications and Networking Services. Students can gain valuable job experience through the Computer Science Internship program, offered by the Computing Sciences Department, and the SUNY Brockport Co-op Program, offered by the Office Of Career Development and Placement. In both types of program, the student works in an employment setting under close supervision; internships are generally unpaid and award college credit, whereas co-ops are generally paid without college credit. These two are separate programs with distinct requirements; however, the Department allows a part of the co-op experience to be identified as internship and offers credit for it. Students choosing to combine the two options must satisfy all the requirements of both. For more information on the internship program, see the The Computing Sciences Internship Program. For more information on the Co-op Program, contact Career Services.

Enrollment and Graduation Data SUNY Brockport has offered programs of study in computing sciences since the early 1970’s. At present, there are two distinct majors: Computer Science and Computer Information Systems. Students admitted to the Computer Science major at The University are expected to choose either the Advanced Computing (AC) Track or the Software Development (SD) Track. Students who are unsure of which track they want to pursue (for example, first-year university students) may postpone declaring a specific track until they receive sufficient advisement. Such students are counted under the “No Track” column for student enrollment. The Information Systems (IS) Track was re-designated as the Computer Information Systems major in January 2009. At that time, students enrolled in the Information Systems Track were given an opportunity to switch to the new major. No new students will be allowed to matriculate in the Information Systems Track and it will be discontinued once all enrolled students have graduated or have withdrawn from the program. Students admitted at Isik University, Istanbul, Turkey under the dual diploma program agreement between Brockport and Isik are counted under the “No Track” column. These students, on completion at both universities of the degree requirements listed under the dual diploma program, are counted as graduating under the Computer Software Engineering (SE) Track of the Computer Science major. The Advanced Computing (AC) Track of the Computer Science (CSC) major and the Computer Information Systems (CIS) major are currently accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. Enrollment Data At the University, a semester represents 14 weeks of classes, exclusive of final examinations. In the Department of Computer Science, one credit (or semester hour) represents one class hour of lecture or two class hours of laboratory work per week. Also, one class hour represents 50 clock minutes. In addition to the regular fall and spring semesters, SUNY Brockport offers time-shortened winter and summer sessions of equivalent semester hours. In the table below, enrollment numbers for only fall semesters are presented. Graduation Data At SUNY Brockport, students may graduate at the end of summer, fall, winter, or spring sessions. Accordingly, their month of graduation may be August, December, January, or May. In the table below, a year 20yy-YY stands for the period July 01, 20yy to June 30, 20YY. For example, the graduates for the year 2011-12 includes those who graduated in the period July 01, 2011 to June 30, 2012, i.e., in Summer 2011, Fall 2011, Winter 2012 and Spring 2012.

Assessment Committee Report: Kevin shared the data and the assessment committee meeting minutes with the group. We are only looking at the 2016 standards. In most cases, we might need to reemphasize a few things in class (ex. Psych, First Aid, etc.). Various discussions on (1) client versus student comfort on various issues (ex. Gender identity), (2) interrater reliability with full-time and part-time faculty and adjuncts, (3) how to improve student comprehension and confidence, and (4) recognizing that students struggle to recognize difference in sessions with clients. Committee Recommendations to Faculty - School Counseling 1.d – review the Implementation I: Case Conceptualization assignment to make sure it is aligned well with this standard - Reviewed assignment as a committee – it is not clear now and should be clarified to align with this standard - Core 2.e. – reviewed the EDC 718 Case Conceptualization assignment description - It is clearly aligned in the assignment description - We should look at interrater reliability given some differences in the way this standard in scored across classes - We also need to consider the differences between sections regarding availability of data for the assignment - Core 7.m – reviewed Case Report 2 from EDC 685 - It is clearly aligned in the assignment description - The mean of 2.63 is expected given it is a 1st checkpoint (it is expected that they could be in the developing stage) - We could include in the assignment description an emphasis on this standard to make sure students understand its importance - Core 5.m – reviewed EDC 718 assignment, Psychological 1st Aid - The clients that students meet with for this course do not always come at the beginning of the semester, and do not always show up with a “crisis” they are experiencing - There can be variability in the way in which think about and complete this assignment. For example, some students are writing about students they have seen earlier in the semester - In EDC 718, we should build more into the assignment, and the across the semester in general, positive aspects of wellness, strengths, and building problem-solving skills so that students can see the positive aspects of their clients - It is also important to note that this is the first-time students have been exposed to psychological 1st aid General Notes for Action - Review how to understand and assign ratings for the common rubrics - There are likely issues of interrater reliability given different understandings of these rubrics Department Closing the Loop Decisions for Action - Move SC 1.d. to Advocacy presentation and update the assignment description and rubric. Update the Case Conceptualization rubric to remove SC 1.d. - Core 2.e. Alter the assignment in 614 on personal identity-increase clarity in the assignment. - Core 7.m. more discussion in EDC 685 and bolding it in the assignment - Core 5.m. discuss psychological first aid in EDC 602.

Spring 2022: Faculty Closing the Loop Activities Department Review of Assessment Committee findings and recommendations AND Department Closing the Loop activities May 22, 2023 1. Data and recommendations reviewed from the Assessment Committee Minutes: 4/11/2023 2. Closing the Loop Activities/ Decisions 3.f. Are able describe how systemic and environmental factors affect human development, functioning, and behavior EDC 603: Group Manual Theory on cause: Early in their studies and they aren’t “there” with diversity and probably have not taken EDC 612, so may not understand growth across the lifespan at this point in the program. Closing the Loop: Add in Bronfenbrenner and wellness, in EDC 501/503 and EDC 603. 4.g. Are able to identify strategies for advocating for diverse clients’ career and educational development and employment opportunities in a global economy Alumni Survey Theory on cause: talk more across the curriculum about career development, as opposed to occupations, advocacy for diverse clients. Historically Black Colleges and University, Closing the Loop: Introduce CSJ Advocacy Competencies in EDC 604: Career and in EDC 501/ EDC 503: Self and Society. Discussion of the importance of addressing career development of clients in clinical coursework. 6.g. Effectively use ethical and culturally relevant strategies for designing and facilitating groups EDC 603: Group Manual Alumni Survey Theory on cause: Not enough emphasis on strategies for working with diverse groups Closing the Loop: More intentional focus on Bronfenbrenner and systems and a greater emphasis on discussing strategies. 7.m. Effectively use ethical and culturally relevant strategies for selecting, administering, and interpreting assessment and test results Alumni Survey Theory on cause: The field is behind in ethically and culturally relevant strategies for assessment. Closing the Loop: More intentionality on culturally relevant strategies for assessment and test results in EDC 604, EDC 685, and EDC 718. Ask students to critically examine existing assessments and their appropriateness for diverse populations. 8.a. Are able to describe the importance of research in advancing the counseling profession, and can effectively critique research to inform counseling practice. Alumni Survey Theory on cause: May be covid related. Is it obvious to alumni that they were taught to critique research? Closing the Loop: More intentionality in Implementation II. MH 1.c. Demonstrates knowledge of principles, models, and documentation formats of biopsychosocial case conceptualization and treatment planning. Alumni Survey Theory on cause: Alumni may not realize that what they were taught is called “biopsychosocial case conceptualization”. This may also be related to these alumni graduating during COVID-19. Finally, this group of alumni would not have taken EDC 718. Closing the Loop: Consistently reference “case conceptualizations” as “biopsychosocial case conceptualizations”. MH 3.b. Effectively use techniques and interventions for prevention and treatment of a broad range of mental health issues EDC 724: Case Conceptualization Alumni Survey Theory on cause: Students may not realize that they are engaging in “prevention” when they are engaging social justice, client and professional advocacy, psychoeducation, and when they are preparing clients for next steps. Closing the Loop: Be more explicit about prevention and they ways in which counselors engage in prevention: social justice, client and professional advocacy, psychoeducation, and when they are preparing clients for next steps. Also, emphasize the differences between evidence-based interventions vs best practices. Professional Commitment: Self-Assessment of Professional Dispositions Theory on cause: Is this a result of COVID-19? Closing the Loop: Host a faculty and graduate assistant discussion about what we think is leading to students and alumni seeing themselves as not “proficient” in professional commitment. Faculty talk with students in class about their thoughts related to professional commitment. General Closing the Loop Activities - - - Engage in a qualitative study of alumni in 2024 - The Department Chair’s training of adjuncts may not be sufficient in ensuring consistency. Each adjunct should also have a faculty mentor. The Chair should share with full-time faculty the messaging the adjuncts are receiving so that feedback and recommendations are consistent. Trial run: try to put at least one core faculty in each course and adjuncts in the remaining sections, then provide mentoring to the adjuncts teaching the other sections (rather than placing all adjuncts in all sections of core classes and all full-time faculty in clinical courses). Adjuncts should be instructed to direct program questions to students’ advisors, clinical coordinators or the chair. - Admissions: During COVID-19 and beyond, more students have demonstrated dispositional and academic issues; potentially add in additional screening tools at admissions. - Many students are struggling with self-management when given too much flexibility in coursework. Instructors should seek to create more structure than what we needed to do in the past. We should also track when students are seeking incompletes across multiple semesters. - At the conclusion of EDC 501/ EDC 503, the faculty should discuss each student’s strengths and limitations. - In addition to the time of Application to Clinical Coursework, faculty should also conduct a full academic and dispositional review as students enroll in EDC 720 (Practicum) to address emerging issues since their approval to clinical coursework -

This credential allows students from The Department of Counselor Education’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling emphases to seek positions as chemical dependency counselors in a range of clinical settings and/or to add chemical dependency treatment as an area of specialization in mental health, community, and school settings. Eligibility To be eligible to earn the CASAC-T credential through the Department of Counselor Education a student must be matriculating in SUNY Brockport’s Department of Counselor Education toward the MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling or MSEd in School Counseling. Students who are taking courses in one of the Department of Counselor Education’s Bridge Programs or Certificate of Advanced Studies Programs are also eligible to pursue the CASAC-T credential; these students are responsible for completing the CACREP core course work and additional Education and Training hours described below. Education and Training Hours To become qualified to sit for the CASAC-T exam the student must earn 350 Education and Training hours by completing CACREP core course work and HCS 545 (Psychopharmacology) as shown in the CASAC-T Checklist. Work Experience Hours In addition, candidates must earn 6,000 work experience hours, 4,000 of which are credited by completing the MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling or MSEd inSchool Counseling. A total of 100% of practicum (100) and internship (600) hours completed in a program licensed by New York State OASAS, New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), or other state “O-licensed” program can be applied to the remaining 2,000 work experience hours. Fifty percent (50%) of practicum (50) hours and internship (300) hours completed in a program that is not state-licensed, but that includes practice of ONE or more of the core (counselor) functions outlined in the CASAC Application (p. 33) can be applied to the work experience hours. CASAC Application Process As Counselor Education students at SUNY Brockport complete their Master’s degree and their 350 training hours that include completion of HCS 545: Psychopharmacology, there are additional steps that need to be taken to complete their CASAC-T and CASAC application. Applicants should go to the OASAS webpage which provides a CASAC Overview, CASAC Application start-up, and CASAC Trainee Certification. Overview In order to become a CASAC in New York State, you must: (1) meet specific competency and ethical conduct requirements; (2) meet specific work experience requirements (2,000 hours with Master’s degree; (3) meet minimum education and training requirements (350 hours); and (4) pass the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) examination for Alcohol and Drug Counselors. All the stated requirements are overseen and/or coordinated by the Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS). Application The first step in the credentialing process is the submission of a CASAC Application to the OASAS Credentialing Unit. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and will remain active for five years from the date of postmark. Upon receipt by the OASAS Credentialing Unit, your application will be reviewed to determine eligibility for a CASAC Trainee and CASAC examination. Based on the findings of the review, your application will be determined to be either approved or incomplete. CASAC Trainee Certification Applicants may be considered for a CASAC Trainee certificate upon satisfying a minimum of 350 clock hours of the required education and training. Your CASAC Trainee certificate will be effective from the date that any of the above eligibility requirements are approved until the end of the five-year period that your application is active. The CASAC Trainee certificate is not renewable. However, if you are an examination candidate when your CASAC Trainee certificate expires, a three year extension may be requested for an additional fee. If you do not complete the credentialing process by the expiration date of your CASAC Trainee certification extension, in order to be considered to become a CASAC in the future, you will be required to submit a new application, associated documentation and an additional application processing fee. You will not be considered for CASAC Trainee certification a second time. Examination The International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) examination for Alcohol and Drug Counselors is comprised of 150 multiple-choice questions derived from the counselor tasks identified in the 2008 IC&RC Job Task Analysis. The examination is administered at least one time per year in New York State. Based on the geographic locations of eligible candidates, examination locations may vary. Upon completion of the exam, you will receive a preliminary score. If you pass the examination, you may not consider yourself a credentialed counselor until you have received the official results of your examination and are issued a certificate. Applicants who do not pass the examination will remain eligible to retest once every 60 days during the active period of their application. Applicants are eligible to take the CASAC exam once the 350 training hours are completed. Work Experience Hours Applicants are required to complete 2,000 work experience hours to earn the CASAC credential. Fifty percent of the 100 practicum hours (50 hours) can be counted toward the 2,000 hours. Students completing their internship in a program certified by OASAS, OMH, another New York State “O-agency,” or certain New York State Department of Corrections (DOC) programs can use all of their internship hours, e.g., 600 hours for their work experience. Students who complete their internship hours in another setting can count 50% of their 600 hours (300 hours) if at their site they have performed at least one of the ten OASAS designated clinical functions, e.g. assessment, treatment planning, referral (see p. 33 of the CASAC Application for more detail). More information about work experience hours The OASAS Credentialing Unit can be contacted as follows: Website: https://oasas.ny.gov/providers/credentialing Email: Credentialing@oasas.ny.gov Phone: (800) 482-9564 Counselor Education Certificate Upon graduation from the Counselor Education Program graduates who have completed the required 350 hours of training (Master’s degree with having taken HCS 545) will receive a certificate from the Department of Counselor Education indicating that they are eligible to apply to OASAS for the CASAC-T.

Yes, the department has a LinkedIn page that is available exclusively to current students and alums where we post job openings. In addition, students in their last semester receive notices about area job openings via email. Often employers will call the department with job announcements. These are passed on to our students as soon as we receive them. Applicants applying to the program come from a variety of academic majors. Although many applicants have a major in the behavioral or social science areas, students with a variety of other majors have successfully completed the program. The Department does not require a specific undergraduate major in order to apply. An undergraduate course in Statistics, however, is recommended. If an applicant has not taken an undergraduate Statistics course, the candidate will be provided with information about learning modules that will prepare them for success in the program. Course syllabi are available for review by contacting the department’s administrative assistant, Darlene LaGeorgia dlageorgia@brockport.edu. This program seeks to prepare excellent counselors who choose an emphasis for special preparation in mental health, school, or college settings. Such counselors possess knowledge of human behavior and social systems, counseling and communication skills, self-awareness, and respect for human dignity and diversity. As a result, they are able to integrate this knowledge, skill, and attitude with their personhood. This combined emphasis on skill development, theory, and utilization of self produces counselors who function effectively in a variety of helping settings and who have a positive impact on the individuals, agencies, institutions, and/or communities in which they work. The philosophy of the department emphasizes the personhood of the counselor and utilization of self as the most important instruments in effecting therapeutic and systemic change. Thus, classroom instruction combines experiential (self) and didactic learning to create opportunities for students to acquire and demonstrate theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and understanding and utilization of self necessary to be effective counselors. Further, the program exposes students to multiple theoretical orientations. Finally, students are expected to learn how to learn, by acquiring the skills necessary to continue personal growth and professional development while in the program and after the completion of their formal education. At last count, 434 higher education institutions have CACREP accredited programs. There are 900+ CACREP accredited programs nationally and internationally. Our institution was the first to gain CACREP accreditation in New York in 1987. Our MSEd – in School Counseling program and our MS in Mental Health Counseling program are CACREP accredited (CACREP accreditation is not needed for those pursuing a career in college student affairs) Students are eligible to sit for the National Counselor Examination (NCE) offered by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) during their last semester. This exam leads to the National Certified Counselor (NCC) credential. The experience requirement for the NCC is waived for students graduating from a CACREP accredited program. Certification is a “professional, statutory, or nonstatutory process by which an agency or association grants recognition to an individual for having met certain predetermined professional qualifications” (Fretz & Mills, 1980, p.7). A state or national board issues a certificate to an individual in a specialty. Certification deems that a person meets the minimum skills necessary to engage in that profession and has no known character defects that would interfere with such practice. Licensure is a “statutory process by which an agency or government, usually a state, grants permission to a person meeting predetermined qualifications to engage in a given occupation and/or use a particular title and to perform specified functions” (Fretz & Mills, 1980, p.7). Like certification, licensure requires that the individual meets predetermined educational and experiential qualifications. Once licensure requirements are established by a state, for example, individuals cannot practice a profession legally without obtaining a license. “The department’s MSEd – Counseling program, School Counselor emphasisresults in students receiving initial certification as school counselor in the State of New York. Initial certification is granted by the New York State Education Department. This certification allows students to work as school counselors. Currently, the state requires that students obtain professional certification as a school counselor within 5 years from graduation.” Graduates of the department’s MS – Mental Health Counseling program are eligible to sit for New York State’s Mental Health Licensure examination. The 60 credit-hour program has met the New York State Education Department’s requirements and is registered as a license-eligible program. The National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) (www.nbcc.org) is the leading national organization that certifies counselors. All students enrolled in both the MSEd degree and MS degree programs are eligible to apply for certification from NBCC. Individuals who take and pass the National Counselor Exam (NCE) (offered twice a year – in October, and in April) receive the National Certified Counselor (NCC) credential. Absolutely!

The Department of Counselor Education has been registered by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) to train students as Certified Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor Trainees (CASAC Application). This credential allows students from The Department of Counselor Education’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling, College Counseling, and School Counseling emphases to seek positions as chemical dependency counselors in a range of clinical settings and/or to add chemical dependency treatment as an area of specialization in mental health, community, school, and college settings. Eligibility To be eligible to earn the CASAC-T credential through the Department of Counselor Education a student must be matriculating in SUNY Brockport’s Department of Counselor Education toward the MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling or MSEd in College Counseling or School Counseling. Students who are taking courses in one of the Department of Counselor Education’s Bridge Programs or Certificate of Advanced Studies Programs are also eligible to pursue the CASAC-T credential; these students are responsible for completing the CACREP core course work and additional Education and Training hours described below. Education and Training Hours To become qualified to sit for the CASAC-T exam the student must earn 350 Education and Training hours by completing CACREP core course work and HLS 509 (Introduction to Alcohol and Drugs) and HLS 545 (Psychopharmacology) as shown in the CASAC-T Checklist. Work Experience Hours In addition, candidates must earn 6,000 work experience hours, 4,000 of which are credited by completing the MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling or the MSEd in College Counseling or School Counseling. A total of 100% of practicum (100) and internship (600) hours completed in a program licensed by New York State OASAS, New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), or other state “O-licensed” program can be applied to the remaining 2,000 work experience hours. Fifty percent (50%) of practicum (50) hours and internship (300) hours completed in a program that is not state-licensed, but that includes practice of ONE or more of the core (counselor) functions outlined in the CASAC Application (p. 33) can be applied to the work experience hours. CASAC Application Process As Counselor Education students at SUNY Brockport complete their Master’s degree and their 350 training hours that include completion of HLS 509: Introduction to Alcohol and Drugs and HLS 545: Psychopharmacology, there are additional steps that need to be taken to complete their CASAC-T and CASAC application. Applicants should go to the following OASAS website, https://oasas.ny.gov/credentialing/alcoholism-and-substance-abuse-counselor-casac, that provides a CASAC Overview, CASAC Application start-up, CASAC Trainee Certification, and CASAC Examination as follows. Overview In order to become a CASAC in New York State, you must: (1) meet specific competency and ethical conduct requirements; (2) meet specific work experience requirements (2,000 hours with Master’s degree; (3) meet minimum education and training requirements (350 hours); and (4) pass the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) examination for Alcohol and Drug Counselors. All the stated requirements are overseen and/or coordinated by the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS). Application The first step in the credentialing process is the submission of a CASAC Application to the OASAS Credentialing Unit. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and will remain active for five years from the date of postmark. Upon receipt by the OASAS Credentialing Unit, your application will be reviewed to determine eligibility for a CASAC Trainee and CASAC examination. Based on the findings of the review, your application will be determined to be either approved or incomplete. CASAC Trainee Certification Applicants may be considered for a CASAC Trainee certificate upon satisfying a minimum of 350 clock hours of the required education and training. Your CASAC Trainee certificate will be effective from the date that any of the above eligibility requirements are approved until the end of the five-year period that your application is active. The CASAC Trainee certificate is not renewable. However, if you are an examination candidate when your CASAC Trainee certificate expires, a three year extension may be requested for an additional fee. If you do not complete the credentialing process by the expiration date of your CASAC Trainee certification extension, in order to be considered to become a CASAC in the future, you will be required to submit a new application, associated documentation and an additional application processing fee. You will not be considered for CASAC Trainee certification a second time. Examination The International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) examination for Alcohol and Drug Counselors is comprised of 150 multiple-choice questions derived from the counselor tasks identified in the 2008 IC&RC Job Task Analysis. The examination is administered at least one time per year in New York State. Based on the geographic locations of eligible candidates, examination locations may vary. Upon completion of the exam, you will receive a preliminary score. If you pass the examination, you may not consider yourself a credentialed counselor until you have received the official results of your examination and are issued a certificate. Applicants who do not pass the examination will remain eligible to retest once every 60 days during the active period of their application. Applicants are eligible to take the CASAC exam once the 350 training hours are completed. Work Experience Hours Applicants are required to complete 2,000 work experience hours to earn the CASAC credential. Fifty percent of the 100 practicum hours (50 hours) can be counted toward the 2,000 hours. Students completing their internship in a program certified by OASAS, OMH, another New York State “O-agency,” or certain New York State Department of Corrections (DOC) programs can use all of their internship hours, e.g., 600 hours for their work experience. Students who complete their internship hours in another setting can count 50% of their 600 hours (300 hours) if at their site they have performed at least one of the ten OASAS designated clinical functions, e.g. assessment, treatment planning, referral (see p. 33 of the CASAC Application for more detail). For additional information on earning the CASAC go to: https://oasas.ny.gov/credentialing/alcoholism-and-substance-abuse-counselor-casac The OASAS Credentialing Unit can be contacted as follows: Web: https://oasas.ny.gov/credentialing/alcoholism-and-substance-abuse-counselor-casac Email: Credentialing@oasas.ny.gov Phone: (800) 482-9564 Counselor Education Certificate Upon graduation from the Counselor Education Program graduates who have completed the required 350 hours of training (Master’s degree with having taken HLS 509 and HLS 545) will receive a certificate from the Department of Counselor Education indicating that they are eligible to apply to OASAS for the CASAC-T.

MSEd School Counseling Program New York State ensures a robust and high-quality population of licensed and certified professionals. In order to protect NYS residents’ who would be the recipients of services from these professionals, each license and certificate has requirements that individuals must meet in order to be licensed or certified in New York State. Academic programs leading to licensure or certification within SUNY schools are carefully designed to meet and exceed NYS requirements. This is a role SUNY plays in protecting the public. Other states frequently have their own requirements, so if your goal is to practice in another state, you must check with that state’s licensing and certification requirements. Per U.S. Federal Regulations, §668.43 (2019 Rule), and in compliance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Manual version 21.1, SUNY Brockport provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure/certification. 1,2 1 The terms related to certification of teachers may vary by state and your state may use different terms. 2 This determination is based on the educational and curricular requirements of each state for certification (i.e., excluding any special, temporary certification that may be granted) and does not imply that other requirements for certification do not exist or have been determined to have been met by this program. This disclosure is strictly limited to SUNY Brockport and its determination of whether its MSEd School Counseling program, if successfully completed, would be sufficient to meet teaching certification requirements in NYS. SUNY Brockport cannot provide verification of an individual’s ability to meet certification requirements unrelated to its educational programming. Unrelated requirements include, but are not limited to: - Certification examinations - Fingerprinting clearance - Verification of citizenship - Submission of certification application(s) Acceptability of the aforementioned requirements are determined by the New York State Education Department (NYSED), and are fact-specific determinations. This disclosure does not provide any guarantee that any particular state certification entity will approve or deny your application. Furthermore, this disclosure does not account for changes in state law or regulation that may affect your application for certification and occur after this disclosure has been made. Enrolled students and prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact their respective State’s licensure entity using the links provided to review all certification and licensure requirements imposed by their state(s) of choice. SUNY Brockport has designed an educational program curriculum for the Masters of Science in Education (MSEd) Degree in School Counseling that if successfully completed is sufficient to meet the NYSED’s academic requirements for professional certification in the following states: Board of Education - Certification/Licensure Contact Information Board of Education - Certification/Licensure Contact Information After making all reasonable efforts, SUNY Brockport cannot determine whether its educational program curriculum for the MSEd Degree in School Counseling that if successfully completed, is sufficient to meet the certification requirements in the following states:

The National Criminal Justice Honor Society What is Alpha Phi Sigma? Alpha Phi Sigma is the only nationally recognized honor society for criminal justice. Founded in 1942, Alpha Phi Sigma has grown to over 400 chapters at colleges and universities in 48 states, Guam and Canada. The society recognizes scholastic excellence by undergraduate and graduate students in the criminal justice sciences. Membership Qualifications All students must have completed one-third of the credit hours required for graduation by a college or university accredited by the appropriate regional accreditation organization. They also must be recommended by a local chapter advisor or faculty member. Brockport Criminal Justice majors may be nominated by the faculty each spring semester if they achieve a 3.5 GPA or above (both cumulative and in the major) and demonstrate good character and future potential that is consistent with the mission of the Alpha Phi Sigma honor society. National Recognition Alpha Phi Sigma is the only nationally recognized honor society for students of criminal justice. The Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS) granted Alpha Phi Sigma affiliate status in 1975. Since 1978, Alpha Phi Sigma has held its national convention in conjunction with the annual ACJS meeting. The Academy’s continued support of Alpha Phi Sigma serves to enhance Alpha Phi Sigma’s purpose—the recognition of scholarly achievement in the field of criminal justice. Alpha Phi Sigma was admitted to the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) in 1980. Membership in ACHS is restricted to fully accredited honor societies. ACHS presently counts among its member chapters the nation’s most prestigious college honor societies. Organization The organization of Alpha Phi Sigma includes a national office located on the campus of a member chapter. Four national student officers (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer) are elected by the membership annually. There are also four national criminal justice faculty advisors. Local chapters are established at universities throughout the United States. To gain admission as a chapter, a university must have a minimum of ten student members and a designated faculty advisor. Eligible students who are enrolled at a university without a local chapter can gain admission to Alpha Phi Sigma upon the completion of an application form accompanied by the recommendation of a criminal justice faculty member. Why Join Alpha Phi Sigma? - Recognition of Achievement: The hard work and personal sacrifice that is required to achieve scholastic excellence deserve recognition. - Alpha Phi Sigma membership designates you as an outstanding student by national standards. Indication of this on your resume will make you stand out from many others. - National Newsletter: Active members receive a bi-annual national newsletter that reports on areas of concern to the criminal justice sciences and the society. - Special Awards: Each year the national office awards a cash scholarship to one member. Awards are also given to students who complete the Annual Call for Papers. Local Chapters also compete for the outstanding national chapter service award which is presented each year. - Annual Convention: A national convention is held each year. The convention is held in conjunction with the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences and presents a wide range of programs and activities.

The solo can be in the dance style of your choice. (No costumes or tap shoes, please.) Music can be played from a phone or Ipod. Visitors are not permitted to observe the class or solos.

Standardized testing has become the norm for education in the United States. Students are instructed to memorize and regurgitate, then repeat. However, this is far from what the average employer is looking for in a worker. According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities employers are looking for college graduates who: - Work well in teams—especially with people different from them - Understand science and technology and how these subjects are used in real-world settings - Write and speak well - Think clearly about complex problems - Analyze a problem to develop workable solutions How Delta College Achieves This The instruction provided in Delta is focused on building these transferrable skills in students throughout the curriculum. Our students participate in a variety of team-based work, but are also required to do individual work. The use of creative expression is encouraged to demonstrate learning. For example, our Human Heritage course requires students to work as a team to write, direct, and perform a modernized version of an ancient piece of literature. Each student may contribute as a script writer, director, stage manager, actor/actress, and/or videographer. Each role contributes to the overall performance by fulfilling their duty. The purpose of this approach is to propel students to analyze and dissect the literature. They have to think about who the author was, what they were trying to communicate to the world through their writing, what was society like at the time, and how would a similar message “play-out” in our modern world. Performance is just one way Delta asks students to demonstrate their learning. Each course has its own variety of assessment. Some examples include: - Group presentations - Skits - Speeches - Performances - Mock interviews - Films - Music videos - Narratives - Debates - Future memoirs
