Program Description:

The Master of Arts in Rehabilitation Counseling degree is a 50-credit program designed to prepare students to become Certified Rehabilitation Counselors (CRC). Rehabilitation counselors work with individuals who have mental, emotional, or physical handicaps, helping them to lead self-sufficient lives both at home and on the job. The counselors determine the training and support their clients need to deal with the personal, social, and vocational effects of their conditions. Rehabilitation counselors are employed by publicly funded agencies, schools, and medical facilities. After evaluating their clients' strengths and limitations, counselors arrange for rehabilitation programs that may include medical care, psychological counseling, occupational therapy, and job placement.

This program is also offered as a dual-credential (65 credits) program preparing graduates to sit for Professional Counselor licensure in Illinois (LPC) in addition to becoming a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. With the completion of additional counseling psychology coursework, graduates of this program are well prepared for a wide variety of community mental health positions in human services agencies and organizations in the public and private sectors. In order to ensure proper course sequence is followed, applicants should specify the appropriate program at time of application.
