The Curriculum
Our program underwent a full curriculum review and revision in 2018 to be in compliance with changes from our CACREP accreditation and PA licensure.
With that revision, the program is composed of 60 credits, divided into three areas of study that include:
- 27 credits of Counseling Foundations
- 21 credits of Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling Foundations
- 9 credits of Clinical Competencies, which is composed of a three credit practicum (100 hours of supervised counseling experience) and six credits of internship (600 hours of supervised field experience)
- One 3-credit elective course
Each student will meet with the program director to develop a unique course schedule that meets their needs.
