Master's Level
Doctoral Level
The Counseling program faculty adhere to a practitioner/educator/ investigator model of training. The mission emphasizes the academic tradition of educating and training doctoral students in those sophisticated concepts that enhance their professional identity. Graduates from this program will work with the client's presenting problem and focus on solutions or actions that might help to resolve the problem. While the specialization is in Marital, Couple and Family Counseling/Therapy, there is also a strong emphasis on understanding normal development throughout a person's life. Thus, the program emphasizes the identification of strengths and a "wellness" viewpoint rather than pathology.
