Admissions
Please see the general statement of admission requirements for all graduate studies programs in the “Admissions” section of this publication. Also refer to the description of admission requirements listed under “Professional Preparation Programs for Education” in the “Regulations, Procedures, and Degree Requirements” section of this publication.
Counseling Program faculty recommend admission of applicants who present evidence of potential both to complete a graduate course of studies with distinction and to become thoughtful and responsive practitioners. Such evidence normally includes:
- A minimum of five social science courses.
- A distinguished undergraduate transcript with at least a 3.0 cumulative average.
- Rehabilitation Counseling applicants must submit strong scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). A test score is not required if the applicant holds a graduate degree from an accredited US university.

- Three strong letters of recommendation indicating the ability to work well with others.
- A two-part letter of intent. For specific details, please refer to the application instructions available at here.
- A group interview with other candidates and faculty members.
- At least one year of paid or volunteer work in a mental health, human services or equivalent setting is recommended.
