Counseling Minor

The counseling minor is designed to supplement the educational needs of students enrolled in any human service discipline. The goals of the counseling minor program are three fold: (1) to develop a student that is service oriented and trained to help needy members of society via a counseling relationship; (2) to provide students with a philosophical view of helping that is based in foundational counseling approaches; (3) to expose students, through experiential study, to counseling models that emphasize cultural competency using a wellness rather than illness based approach. The counseling minor does not license individuals to practice as a licensed counselor or licensed psychologist, but it does prepare students for bachelor level positions in counseling agencies. The program is also designed to prepare students for graduate study in professional counseling.
