The Counseling Psychology program at Andrews University is housed in the Department of Educational & Counseling Psychology. The PhD in Counseling Psychology prepares students for the practice of counseling psychology in schools, colleges, agencies, hospitals, churches, businesses, industries, and private settings. It is the intent of the program to prepare graduates for licensure as professional psychologists. Students should consult with the appropriate authorities regarding requirements in the states or countries in which they wish to practice. Counseling psychology students may specialize in Adult, Child/Adolescent, or Marriage and Family Services. Specialities should be developed within a student's course plan in close consultation with their advisor.
