Curriculum will address a practitioner-wellness and human services model. Because the program is twofold?for preparing careers in social services and for professional counseling?the program adopts an experiential philosophy to develop personal awareness and creativity from a bio-psycho-social perspective across the lifespan. As such, a student?s effectiveness becomes a product, in part, of his or her creativity, personal, and cultural awareness. It is expected that students not only desire, but?intend?to pursue the inspection of their own personal identity, growth, and development?both inside and outside the classroom?as an integral part of their graduate studies at OKCU.
