EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The mission of the Oregon State
University graduate program in
counseling is to prepare professional
leaders who promote the social,
psychological and physical well-being of
individuals, families, communities and
organizations. We believe that such
professional leaders stand for social,
economic and political justice and
therefore must be prepared to be
proactive educators, change agents and
advocates in the face of injustice.
Professional leaders are sensitive to life
span developmental issues, demonstrate
multicultural awareness, and recognize a
global perspective as integral to the
preparation of professional leaders.

undergraduate degrees concurrently—
one in their chosen field and the second
in Education (BA, BS degree). The
Education Double Degree in teacher
education is a multiple-entry pathway
to teacher preparation available to all
OSU students. Similar to the International Degree program (BA in International Studies), the BA/BS in Education
can only be obtained in conjunction
with a BA/BS in a student’s chosen field.
The Double Degree pathway in
teacher education is a 40-credit program
that includes all the course work and
field experiences (e.g., student teaching)
College of Education
necessary to qualify for an Oregon
Initial Teaching License granted by the
Teacher Standards and Practices
Commission (TSPC).
Students may specialize in one of four
areas (authorization levels). The four
authorization levels are:
• Early childhood education (age 3
through grade 4)
• Elementary education (grade 3
through grade 8)
• Middle school (grades 5–8)
• High school (grade 7–12)
The following subject areas (endorsements) are available with the Double
Degree program:
• Business Education
• Family and Consumer Science
Education
• Foreign Languages (French, German,
Spanish)
• Health Education
• Language Arts (English) Education
• Mathematics Education (Basic
Mathematics, Advanced Mathematics)
• Science Education (Biology, Chemistry, Integrated Science, Physics)
• Social Studies Education
• Technology Education
Students wishing to add a second
authorization level and/or subject areas
(endorsements) will be able to do so as
part of their master’s degree program.
The Double Degree program has three
stages and students may participate in
these stages as their schedule permits
and as their application status allows
(i.e., the Double Degree program is not a
cohort-based program). The first stage
of the Double Degree allows students to
take the three core education courses (8
credits) with no prerequisites. These are
three 200-level courses that may also be
taken at a community college.

COUNSELING (MS, PhD)
Graduate Areas of Concentration
School counseling, community
counseling, school counseling
licensure (MS only), Oregon Board of
Licensed Professional Counselors and
Therapists licensure (MS only),
counselor education and supervision
(PhD only)
Two graduate degrees are offered in
counseling: the Master of Science and
the Doctor of Philosophy.
OSU’s Counselor Education programs
are accredited by the Council for
Accreditation of Counseling and
Related Educational Programs
(CACREP) and by the National Council
for Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE) at the master’s level in Schools
and Community Counseling. The PhD
is accredited by CACREP in Counseling
Education and Supervision.
MASTER OF
SCIENCE IN COUNSELING
Licensure programs are also available to
graduates from other institutions who
wish to meet Teacher Standards and
Practices requirements for the Initial or
Continuing School Counselor License
but who do not wish to earn another
MS degree.
The Master of Science in Counseling is
a 75-credit program that may be
completed either through a full-time or
a summer-sequential program. The fulltime program is typically completed in
six consecutive terms (18 months)
starting with summer session (six weeks
in length) and proceeding through fall,
winter, spring, summer, and fall. The
summer sequential program is typically
27 months in length—if all practicum
and internship experiences can be
completed as required. Students in both
programs will take one to two weekend
classes per quarter except in the summer.
The Master of Science degree uses a
competency-based approach to prepare
counselors. The program prepares the
counselor to work with the educational,
social, personal and career development
needs of their clientele. Preparation
consists of a sequential program that
integrates academic knowledge and
theory with closely supervised counseling practice. Self-exploration and
personal development are integral
components of the program.
178
Oregon State University
Graduates work in public school
settings, social service agencies, and
postsecondary educational institutions.
Admission to the
MS in Counseling program
Application must be made to the
Graduate School and to the Counselor
Education Program. The minimal
prerequisite is a bachelor’s degree.
Admission is not based exclusively on
academic success in courses. Screening
includes a minimum GPA of 3.00 and a
personal interview in which the
applicant’s educational goals, experience, and employment background are
reviewed. Academic background,
personal and emotional stability, and
educational and professional goals of
each candidate are evaluated before
admission is granted. Prior counselingrelated academic work from an accredited institution may meet, in part, the
requirements of the program. Admission
is competitive and by cohort to begin
with the summer session.
Academic performance is not the sole
criterion for admission to, and continuation in, certain courses, such as
practicum courses and internships. The
university may evaluate an individual’s
background to determine the likelihood
that he or she will maintain standards
of professional conduct necessary in the
discipline. An evaluation may consider
current performance along with past
experiences and actions that could
affect a student’s ability to perform in
the particular course or program.
It should also be noted that individuals who want to become school
counselors but who do not have a
teaching license are eligible to apply for
the school counselor track.
It should be noted that individuals
have three options for the MS degree in
counseling:
1. Community agency counseling;
2. School counseling with teacher
license; and
3. School counseling without a teaching
license. Those individuals who want
to become school counselors but who
do not have a teaching license are
eligible to apply for the third option.
Students may also apply for a dual
endorsement option in both community and school counseling.
DOCTOR OF
PHILOSOPHY IN COUNSELING
The PhD in Counseling degree is
designed to prepare experienced
counseling professionals to extend their
roles in the counseling profession. The
doctoral program is appropriate for
those whose career path is that of
research and teaching in counselor
preparation programs, in student
development at a college or university
level, or in supervisory positions in
schools or agencies. Graduates of the
PhD program most typically become
counselor educators at other universities.
Requirements for the PhD
A minimum of 150 credits is required
beyond the baccalaureate degree. The
program includes thesis, internship, and
the balance of credits in specialty areas,
including participation in doctoral
seminars. Doctoral students can meet
the majority of their residency and
course requirements in two years of fulltime study.
Admission to the PhD Program
It is expected that individuals entering
the PhD program will have completed a
master’s degree in counseling that covers
the nine areas of concentration required
by the Council for Accreditation of
Counseling and Related Educational
programs (CACREP). The nine areas are
human growth and development, social
and cultural foundations, helping
relationships, groups, career and lifestyle
development, appraisal, research and
program evaluation, professional
orientation, and clinical instruction. In
addition, the counselor education
faculty expects a background in
abnormal psychology, family counseling, and chemical dependency counseling. Areas not covered in the student’s
master’s program or through continuing
higher education must be taken in
doctoral study.
Applicants are preferred who have a
minimum of two years of post-master’s
experience as a counselor. Preference will
be given to National Certified Counselors (NCCs), state Licensed Professional
Counselors (LPCs), and those who are
licensed through a school counseling
licensing body such as Oregon Teacher
Standards and Practices. It is also
expected that applicants will have
participated in counseling as a client
prior to admission to the program.
Desirable, but not essential, is work in
the field of education such as teaching,
school administration, curriculum or
instruction, and/or educationally
related work in child, youth, or adult
development programs.
An application packet may be
obtained from the College of Education
or downloaded from the website at
http://oregonstate.edu/education/
programs/counprospect.html. Included
in the application will be demonstrated
evidence of counseling competence
through submission of a videotaped
counseling session. A personal interview
is also a final step in the application
process. Applications received prior to
January 15 will be given preference.
Admission is by cohort to begin each
fall term.
