Application Process
Thank you for your interest in the
Masters degree program in Counselor
Education at Florida Atlantic University. If
you are seeking to be a Professional School
Counselor, Counselor of Mental Health, or
Counselor of Rehabilitation, to apply for
admission to the program, you must complete
a graduate application from the Office of
Graduate Admission. The completed
application, official transcripts indicating
degree received, and official GRE scores
should be sent to the Office of Graduate
Admissions with sufficient time for that
office to forward your application to this
department by the current application
deadline. Do not send these
items to the Department, as it will only
delay your application.
The Department of Counselor
Education requirements are:
-
Professional Goal Statement (1-2 pages)
-
A separate page describing your work
experience related to counseling
-
Three letters of recommendation
attesting to your suitability for
graduate study and entry into the field
of professional counseling.
Please send these items directly to the
Department of Counselor Education at the
address listed below to arrive by the
current application deadline. We will
hold these items for the receipt of the
application, transcript's and GRE scores
from the Graduate Admissions office.
When your application packet is
completed, it will be put into the current
pool of applicants. The application
deadline is twice a year. If your
application is complete February 1st,
consideration for Fall admission or July 1st,
for Spring admission consideration. Everything
must be received in this department by that
date. Applications for admission to
the Florida Atlantic University Counselor
Education program are considered on a
competitive basis.
The Department does
offer Non-Degree registration. You can take
up to 18 credits before acceptance at FAU.
Only 6 credits from another University can
apply
(must be less than 7 years old). If
applicable, this would correct the credits
accepted from FAU to 12 before acceptance.
So, you can still start now, upon
acceptance you can apply your credits to the
program.
To start:
1) You would need to register as a
Non-degree seeking student first, if not
already a student in FAU.
(Application
avail.) On
http://www.fau.edu/registrar/forms.htm#nondegree
2) Then you would come to the Department
for a faculty signature. This would OK your
seat in the classroom (this procedure is
required for any and all courses in the
program).
3) The Core courses required by the
Department for you to start with:
MHS 6055 Lifespan
MHS 6401 Theories & Techniques
MHS 5005 Processes
We welcome your inquiry and hope you
choose Florida Atlantic University for your
graduate education.
