Program Description:

The Master of Arts in Counseling & Organizational Psychology program combines the theories and skills of counseling psychology with organizational theory, design and development in order to prepare graduates for positions in business and industry, especially in organizational psychology and the related areas of personnel management, team building, performance enhancement, executive coaching, organizational development, training, and employee assistance programs.

This program is unique in the area because it prepares graduates to sit for Illinois state level licensure as a master’s level counselor. Graduates will be trained and qualified to be entry level counselors with skills in assessing and providing counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. Beyond these important and marketable skills, graduates will have received training and skills in assessing and providing intervention in organizational settings on the level of the individual (personnel selection, leadership development, executive coaching, career assessment, and counseling), the work group (team assessment, team issue resolution, and team building), as well as the organizational level (talent audits, needs analysis, strategic planning, and organizational design and development).

Students can take this program in the traditional (3 year) weekend sequence or in an accelerated (2 year) sequence. Students who take the accelerated program will be required to enroll both in weekend and weekday courses.

The Adler School of Professional Psychology is the oldest independent school of psychology in the US. Founded in 1952, the school continues the work of Alfred Adler, the first community psychologist.
