REQUIREMENTS
Option in Student Affairs and College Counseling Requirements
The Option in Student Affairs and College Counseling is a 48-unit program designed for individuals seeking advanced
preparation for careers in post-secondary and related settings.
The Student Affairs and College Counseling Option is designed to prepare individuals for employment as student service
professionals in four-year university and community college. Graduates with this degree option are prepared for employment
in the multi- faceted arena of post-secondary education.
Preparation for the Student Affairs and College Counseling option requires knowledge of individual and group dynamics,
advising practices in specialized settings, and an understanding of the developmental issues associated with students'
maturation process. It requires an appreciation of organizational dynamics and a firm foundation in counseling theory as well
as acquisition of counseling skills appropriate for use with students from diverse populations and backgrounds. In addition,
counselors are also required to know, understand, and address the impact of crises, disasters, and trauma-causing events on
students in the post-secondary community. The 2009 Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational
Programs (CACREP) standards includes content in crises management (suicide, disasters, and substance abuse).
Program Requirements
Under the direction of a graduate adviser, each student develops and submits an individually designed program within the
following framework:
