Our Educational Philosophy

Understand yourself before you can understand others. Beginning with the course “Self in Society,” you’ll engage in self-reflection and gain a sense of belonging before you to dive into the work of counseling. It’s an incredible opportunity to further your interpersonal skills and get an early introduction to group facilitation.

Our program is well known and respected for its unique approach in preparing professional counselors, who function effectively in a variety of settings. You gain human relations and therapeutic skills through discussion and practice.
