Counseling — Degree Requirements

Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 in the program’s core curriculum and in all subsequent coursework. A total of 60 credits is required.

In addition, two evaluative experiences are required to monitor the progress of matriculated students. The first follows the student’s completion of 10 academic courses and precedes the internship placement. Before beginning the internship placement, each student must formally demonstrate the academic and personal readiness to be an ethical and responsible counselor-in-training. The second is a capstone experience requiring MEd candidates to demonstrate their ability to apply, integrate, and synthesize what they have learned. The nature of the capstone experience varies by track, as described in the links below.

  1. Family Therapy Track (60 cr.)
  2. Mental Health Counseling Track (60 cr.)
  3. Mental Health Counseling Track: Forensic Services Concentration (60 cr.)
  4. Mental Health Counseling Track: School Adjustment Concentration (60 cr.)
  5. Rehabilitation Counseling Track (60 cr.)
  6. School Counseling Track (60 cr.)
