Yes, it is. Although individuals who go through our program are educated to be professional
counselors and hold a counseling identity, counseling knowledge and skills are transferable
to many areas of higher education. Examples include career services, TRiO programs,
residence life, disability services, campus diversity and multicultural programs,
and other student support services. If you have a stronger interest in working in
student personal offices (e.g., student activities or financial aid), you may want
to look at the graduate degree options in the ETSU Department of Educational Leadership
and Policy Analysis (ELPA) or the MS in Individual, Family, and Community Sciences
in Department of Counseling and Human Services, to determine which program is a better
fit for your interests.
