Master of Education (MEd) in Community Counseling (60 credit hours)

The MEd in community counseling prepares students to provide for the mental health and counseling needs of individuals and families in community settings. Graduates of the community counseling master's program primarily work as counselors in a variety of community and mental health agencies--although they may also select career paths as counselors in government, business, and industrial settings as well as in private practice. Since education, information, and effective coping skills are means by which individuals are prepared for their various life roles, specific emphasis is placed on the strengths and challenges of African-American students and other historically disenfranchised individuals and groups as they interact with the environment. Using a multicultural framework, the community counseling program also focuses on the unique counseling and mental health needs of individuals and families residing in urban and metropolitan communities.
