The M.Ed. in Counselor Education is designed to prepare counselors who understand and are sensitive to the needs of the individuals with whom they work. As a program of professional counselor preparation, emphasis is placed on personal and interpersonal growth, in addition to academic excellence. Structured so that students progress through a foundational core to self-development, skill development and application, a sequence of field experiences progressively assist students to connect theory with practice. Pre-practicum experiences are integrated into selected professional courses (CO 5050, CO 5030, CO 5230, and CO 5600) and include brief counseling activities in schools and other settings. CO 5100 Practicum in Counseling helps students to develop and practice interviewing and counseling skills with a number of clients. Finally, the internship places students in settings that allow them to experience the full range of the activities associated with the role of the counselor. Students must complete a residency requirement while completing their internship experience.
