The study of Counseling and Special Education will help you to develop a knowledge and understanding of individual differences, life span issues and working with others. The programs offered emphasize working with clients and students as individuals within a group setting and serving them throughout the life span. All programs provide experiential applications for students throughout the program. If you are interested in a career in counseling or in working with exceptional persons or in improving your skills in these areas, you should discuss your plans with a member of the Counseling and Special Education faculty.

Our Department is composed of two units: Counselor Education and Special Education.

The Counseling or Counselor Education unit provides only Graduate Programs, preparing students to become Counselors when they earn a Master's Degree.

The Special Education unit serves both Graduate and Undergraduate students with a number of programs to prepare Special Education Teachers.
