Strategic Mission
The mission of the Counseling Program at Southeastern Louisiana University is to prepare future counselors with the knowledge and skills necessary for entry into the profession.
Core Values
The Graduate Counseling Program’s core values are: Diversity, Wellness, Academic Excellence, and the Holistic Embodiment of Counseling.
There are three concentrations in the counseling program: School Counseling, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Marriage, Couple and Family Therapy, all of which are nationally accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Program faculty members are nationally/internationally recognized as leaders in the counseling field. All graduates, regardless of concentration, receive the same degree, a Master of Education in Counselor Education. The academic coursework in all concentrations meets the academic requirements for licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana as well as most other states.
The Counseling Program consists of a minimum of sixty (60) hours of study. A student's last two semesters consist of a clinical internship at an approved site. The internship is very close to a full-time experience (approximately 30 hours per week), and students are only allowed to take one additional class along with internship for a maximum of six hours each semester of internship.
