Some information about our program:

The OSU Counselor Education Program is currently ranked #4 in the nation by US News and World Reports Guide to Best Graduate Schools. The master’s program has two tracks: school counseling and clinical counseling.

The school counseling track consists of 72 quarter credit hours, including a 100-hour practicum (for 1 quarter )and 600-hour internship (for 3 quarters) in urban school settings. The school counseling program is a national leader in the Transforming School Counseling Initiative, sponsored by The Education Trust. It prepares school counselors to be leaders and change agents that positively affect student achievement and career aspirations. In addition, the program fulfills the course requirements for the Ohio Department of Education’s school counseling license.

The clinical counseling track consists of 91 quarter credit hours, including a 100-hour practicum (for 1 quarter) and 600-hour internship (for 3 quarters) in a clinic, hospital, community agency or private practice setting. Students in the clinical counseling program are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental and emotional disorders. Students also learn to incorporate wellness and prevention into their practice. The clinical program fulfills the course requirements for the State of Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) credential.

The doctoral program is based on a scientist-practitioner model with an emphasis on theory, practice, leadership, supervision, and research. It prepares individuals for roles as counselor educators, professional counselors, supervisors, and directors of counseling in public schools, universities, and agencies. The program also provides a unique emphasis on interprofessional collaboration as well as opportunities for doctoral students to work alongside OSU counselor educators and other counseling leaders in the profession.
