Each program requires applicants to have a minimum of one year’s experience prior to admission. What counts as experience?
A. You need to have a minimum of one year experience, either paid or volunteer, with the age group of people you ultimately wish to work with, for example, children, adolescents or adults. Some common experiences include volunteer work with a crisis line or Hospice, internships completed at the undergraduate level, and working as a Therapeutic Support Staff. Faculty members in each counseling program will make the final determination as to what counts as relevant experience for that particular program.
