Course work for a minor may come from any academic department in the university offering graduate coursework. Any complementary set of courses with a
prefix different from the major area of program emphasis may comprise
a minor area. A minor may be outside the College of
Education. For example, Ph.D. students in Counseling will
typically select a minor in such areas as Psychology, Sociology,
Gerontology, Gifted Education, Public Policies, Technology Education,
School Psychology, Educational Psychology, Women's Studies, and so
forth. For additional information, see the Graduate Bulletin of
the
Office of Graduate Studies. |
| Focus Area |
12 hours |
| |
Counseling is a broad field. Counselors benefit
from the endeavors of many other professionals with different training
and backgrounds. Focus area
requirements are designed to give students the opportunity to benefit
from a broad array of theory, practice, and research in fields related
to counseling. A focus area option provides an opportunity for
an individual to present to the department knowledge gained in other
fields of study. Course work for a focus area may come from any
academic field of study if the field will benefit the student as a
counselor educator, supervisor, researcher, or practitioner. For
additional information, see the Departmental
Graduate
Student Handbook. |
Other requirements may be found in
publications of the
Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology, and Special Education,
publications of the College of Education (Graduate Program
Handbook and Doctoral Student Handbook), and publications of
the
Office of Graduate Studies
(Guidelines for Preparing Dissertations and Theses and The
Graduate Studies Bulletin).
