Counseling Psychology The Counseling Psychology Program trains scientist-practitioners to contribute to psychology's knowledge base and adapt their attendant clinical work for the prevention and remediation of human problems and for the development of human potential. The thrust of clinical training is on viewing professional activity as educating persons to cope with development and life's challenges. The orientation is preventive and developmental insofar as it focuses on persons' strengths as well as normative transitions and issues which occur at different points of the life span. Students inculcate an educative stance in their work as they prepare for professional activities which emphasize teaching skills that enable persons to prevent future problems, mobilize their personal or environmental resources, and enhance the quality of their coping with developmental tasks. The program accomplishes its objectives with a multicultural-family focus.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor degree  Pre-Requisite Courses none  International Student Requirements TOEFL or IELTS is required of all applicants whose undergraduate education was completed in a non-English speaking country.
