We have designed this website to be helpful to prospective students, current students, and program alumni. The Counselor Education Program emphasizes a holistic approach to counseling. Counselors assist clients in achieving optimal personal, educational, and vocational development. Counselors are proactive "agents of change". To facilitate change, an individual must be fully accepted as a person of worth, dignity, and potential. Counseling assists individuals in understanding themselves, making the most of their own qualities and making their own unique contributions to a multicultural society. The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Counselor Education, Mental Health Counseling Track, is designed to educate and prepare individuals interested in working as mental health counselors in community mental health settings, institutions, hospitals, schools, and private practice. Nationally accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP), the program meets all requirements as outlined by the Florida Department of Medical Quality Assurance for licensure as a Mental Health Counselor. This program emphasizes the blending of research and theory with practical applied experience. It also emphasizes and reflects the urban and multicultural nature of our community, as well as general trends within specified counseling fields. The program involves intensive field work with accompanying seminars.
