The Department of Counseling and Student Personnel at Minnesota State University, Mankato is pleased to announce the development of an Ed.D. program in Counselor Education and Supervision. The first class of doctoral students has been admitted and courses have begun.
The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) program in Counselor Education and Supervision addresses the professional development needs of counseling and student affairs professionals who seek a Doctoral degree in order to (a) advance or enrich their careers in counseling and student affairs; (b) obtain college teaching positions in counselor education; (c) become license-eligible; (d) position themselves for supervision and leadership roles within the counseling and student affairs professions; and/or (e) upgrade and expand their clinical skills to prepare for specialized positions in advanced counseling practice. Course content and clinical experiences build upon the education of Master's prepared counselors and student affairs professionals already practicing in a variety of advanced roles (e.g., educator, administrator, clinical supervisor, guidance director). The curriculum, which is structured around the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) standards for Doctoral programs, focuses upon the development of advanced competencies for increasingly complex professional practice, faculty, and leadership roles. The program emphasizes both advanced practice preparation and applied research.
Applications for fall 2008 admittance are now being accepted. The application deadline for fall 2008 admission is March 1, 2008. For further information, view and download an [PDF] application packet (202 KiB).
