This CACREP-accredited Ph.D. Counselor Education & Supervision program prepares graduates to acquire faculty positions and assume leadership positions in mental health and school settings. Students receive intense training in counseling, teaching, supervision, research, and advocacy. Classes are held during weeknights and some weekends. The coursework is completed within two-and-half-years.

The Ph.D. Counselor Education & Supervision program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation for Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), which means that the program has a nationally recognized and rigorous curriculum. Programs that receive CACREP accreditation have demonstrated a commitment to high admissions, academic and fieldwork standards and current best practices in counselor preparation and program improvement. Counselor preparation programs that are accredited by CACREP must hire faculty who have earned a doctoral degree in counselor education and supervision, preferably from a CACREP-accredited program. This has increased the marketability of graduates of CACREP accredited doctoral programs. Counseling psychology or clinical psychology graduates are generally not eligible for counselor education faculty positions.
