Our program supports a culture of caring that includes a strong commitment to equity across all domains, including the academic, career, personal and social domains defined by the National Standards for School Counseling. Emphasis is placed on social justice, mindfulness, creativity, excellence and community involvement with community action research components embedded throughout the coursework. Candidates are trained as advocates for all students, as well as collaborators with families, other educators and the global community.

They will develop the courage and skills to challenge biases and stereotypes, to appreciate diversity and become transformative leaders in schools and communities.
