The Counseling program at WCU offers two Master’s degrees in the following areas, School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
The WCU graduate programs in clinical mental health counseling and school counseling are in the Department of Human Services within the College of Education and Allied Professions.
The mission of the WCU counseling programs is to subscribe to the standards of CACREP and prepare ethically bound professional counselors for entry-level counseling positions in agency and school settings. The faculty teach and supervise across program areas and focus on excellence in the preparation of professional counselors regardless of the setting in which they will be employed. Instruction in counseling is founded upon commitment to the belief that individuals are valuable, responsible, and capable and that counselor’s work to create the conditions in which people prize themselves as human beings and act accordingly. The counseling faculty is committed to creating teaching-learning environments that encourage the active participation of students. Students are invited to join faculty in advocating for clients’ and human rights and for professionalism which requires adequate reflection and careful consideration of the interest and welfare of the persons affected by their decisions.
