Shaping Impactful Counselors and Educators with a Dynamic Online Learning Experience
The faculty and leaders of our Online Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Counseling program cherish the idea of community and believe firmly in preparing future counselors to be mindful of cultural diversity and champions of social justice. Their hope is that every graduate of the online counseling programs will embody these characteristics and implement them in every aspect of their future work.
To aid in these endeavors, faculty members have designed an online student experience for the respective programs that invites participants from across the nation to collaborate with their instructors—and each other—and engage in an immersive learning experience that aligns coursework with personal and professional objectives.
