Counseling Programs Mission Statement
The mission of the counseling programs is the development of students (primarily from the Southern region of the United States) who can practice in a variety of professional settings including K-12 schools, higher education, community mental health settings, college counseling centers, and rehabilitation counseling settings. The faculty is committed to preparing graduate students who have solid theoretical knowledge, appropriate clinical skills, and an understanding of the scientist-practitioner model of working with individuals. Graduates are expected to contribute substantially to the improvement of the lives of individuals in our changing, technologically complex, and increasingly diverse society and to promote and conduct research designed to improve and advance the counseling profession.
 

Minority Recruitment Policy
The Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology and Special Education encourages the recruitment, acceptance and enrollment of minority students of the region and beyond. Efforts are made to ensure that programs are diverse in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status and disability. Members of minority groups are strongly encouraged to seek admission in the department.
