Coursework

Students will be admitted after earning a M.S./M.A. degree in counseling or psychology or other closely related discipline. Masters-level counselor education programs typically require the completion of 60 credit hours, however other related disciplines may require 48 credit hours, and in some cases as few as 30 credit hours. Students entering with degrees from related disciplines (other than counseling) will likely be required to complete additional credit hours at the masters- level in order to be prepared for the Counseling Psychology PsyD curriculum. Below is a list of content that it is expected that students will have completed during their masters degree program and that will be considered pre-requisite for the PsyD program. These pre-requisites provide foundational content upon which more advanced coursework in PsyD program will be built. In cases where students completed a masters program other than counseling or in which certain pre-requisites were not completed during masters program, students may be permitted to take missing pre-requisites concurrently with PsyD courses.

The Counseling Psychology program will require completion of a minimum of 100 Semester Credit Hours (SCH) distributed among Core Courses, required for all students; Concentration courses required in the Serving Military Personnel, Veterans, and Their Families concentration, and Elective courses.
