On Campus
Counselors help individuals resolve personal and social problems. Although a minimum of a master’s degree is required to be a professional counselor, the helping skills and developmental perspectives that form the foundation of counseling are applicable to many professions.
The Counseling Minor is designed for undergraduate students who are interested in careers in professional psychology (counseling psychology, clinical psychology or school psychology) or related fields such as school counseling, rehabilitation counseling, or mental health counseling, social work, nursing and allied health professions.
