The mission of the faculty of the Counselor Education program is to prepare competent school counseling professionals who demonstrate the intellectual curiosity, self-awareness, ethical foundation, and skills needed to respond creatively to the academic, psychological and career development needs of students. Graduates of the program are prepared to provide culturally relevant and ethically sound counseling services, program leadership, consultation services and classroom guidance activities in the school environment. To these ends, students will engage in learning experiences in campus-based coursework and in the schools working with students, school counselors, teachers, administrators and parents.
