Program Sheet and Plan of Study
Ed.S. in Professional Counseling and Supervision
Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology
University of West Georgia
The Ed.S. degree program in Professional Counseling and Supervision is designed for practitioners who
currently hold a master’s degree in counseling or a master’s degree in psychology. The degree requires
completion of 27 semester hours and is designed to be completed in one year by students attending on a full
time basis (9 hours/semester, including summer). Prospective students who are not employed in a school or
community setting as counselors will be required to enroll in multiple internships as part of their degree
program.
Prospective students with a master’s degree in psychology will likely be required to take several prerequisite
courses before proceeding with the course work in the Ed.S. program. Those courses at a minimum include
the following courses (or their equivalent as determined by the student’s advisor):
CEPD 6131: Counseling Theories
CEPD 6140: Introduction to Counseling Practice
CEPD 6151: Psychological Appraisal
CEPD 6160: Group Counseling
CEPD 6189: Practicum
CEPD 7138: Multicultural Counseling
CEPD 7152: Research and Program Evaluation
Completion of these prerequisite courses will not count toward meeting degree requirements.
