Graduate Program Admissions

Graduate students are admitted once a year into a cohort and begin their studies in the summer semester. For the next graduate program admissions cohort, completed application materials are due by February 1st to begin studies in the following fall.

Admission to the graduate degree programs in the Department of Counselor Education is competitive; meeting the minimum entrance requirements does not guarantee admission. The number of students admitted annually will be based upon available space within the program as a whole. Selected applicants will be invited for an on-campus interview with an admissions committee comprised of program faculty and practicing counselors. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit all application materials well in advance of the deadlines.
