Counselors serve valuable functions in fields of education, health and human services, and business. Their domains of practice include public and private educational institutions, medical facilities and allied health agencies, social service agencies and organizations, state and federal human service agencies and programs, correctional facilities, business and industry, and private practice.

The program’s philosophy is to introduce students to a variety of approaches to counseling and to encourage the development of competencies within these approaches.

The program combines theory and practice utilizing on and off-campus coursework and fieldwork assignments. Required courses are offered predominantly in the evening, but most field assignments require daytime participation during normal business hours defined by the off-campus sites.
