Ph.D. Program in Counseling
Program Coordinator:
Dr.
Paul Peluso
The Department of Counselor Education at
Florida Atlantic University is pleased
to announce that its proposed for a
Ph.D. program received final state
approval. The program began
accepting students for the Fall, 2005
term.
Unique Focus
of the Degree:
The degree is a 60 hour post-masters,
CACREP-oriented program to train leaders
and researchers; it is not an
APA-oriented Counseling Psychology
program to train clinicians. Since
our Ph.D. Counseling program will accept
students who are already licensed or
certified counselors, it is not
primarily clinically-focused, although
it will enhance students’ clinical
skills. Rather, this unique
program will emphasize research and
leadership in
student–faculty research groups.
Accordingly, its purpose is to prepare
counseling professionals for local and
national leadership in the field as
university professors, researchers,
clinical supervisors, directors or
program coordinators in mental health
agencies, school settings and
rehabilitation programs.
Presidential
and Provost Fellowship Opportunities
The
Counselor Education programs at FAU meet
and exceed all state and national
certification, licensing, and
accreditation requirements
in counseling.
Full
programs are located on the
Boca Raton Campus.
Selected courses are offered on the
MacArthur Campus
in Palm Beach County, the
Davie Campus
in Broward County, and the
Treasure Coast Campus
in St. Lucie County.
