在这里学什么？

The Master of Education (EdM) program prepares individuals to enter professional roles as mental health counselors, school guidance counselors, and/or sports psychology consultants. The program is available to individuals who have completed bachelor’s degrees in accredited colleges and universities throughout the world. While evidence of commitment to human service is a prerequisite, it is not necessary to have majored in the social or behavioral sciences.

The EdM in Counseling focuses explicitly on child, adolescent, and early adulthood, and includes three concentration areas: School Counseling, Child & Adolescent Mental Health Counseling, and Sport/Performance Psychology. Your area of concentration will determine the specific coursework required for completion of the EdM program in Counseling; however, all students will complete the core counseling curriculum in a minimum of 60 credit hours, as well as 700 hours of clinical training. The EdM in Counseling’s core training emphasizes:

Normative development from infancy through early adulthood. Ecological considerations, including personal, environmental, and cultural factors. Strengths-based theory, focusing on individual attributes and adaptations.

Concentrations

Each of our concentrations, while dependent on the same core training, offers experiences both within the classroom and beyond it that best prepare students for their areas of interest:

In our School Counseling concentration, students receive a comprehensive training in mental health issues and counseling rather than explicitly emphasizing academic counseling, as many School Counseling graduate programs do. Students can further concentrate their interests with additional coursework specific to school counseling in areas such as learning disabilities, vocational development, college admissions, families, and issues in school counseling.

Students enrolled in our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Counseling concentration are prepared for a career providing counseling to children, adolescents, and young adults in community-based settings that include, but are not limited to, community mental health facilities, hospitals, therapeutic schools, substance abuse treatment facilities, eating disorder treatment facilities, and universities.

Our Sports Psychology concentration includes coursework in sport psychology skills, psychology of coaching teams, sport theory, sports science, and sport psychology research. A unique aspect of the sports psychology concentration is that students complete 400 sport psychology focused internship hours (e.g., performance enhancement in collegiate sport, positive youth development) in preparation to become an Association of Applied Sport Psychology Certified Consultant, and also complete the pre-masters academic and clinical requirements to be licensed as Licensed Mental Health Counselors.

Concentrations

The three concentrations within the EdM in Counseling include: School Counseling; Child & Adolescent Mental Health Counseling; Sport/Performance Psychology.
