Counseling Program Mission Statement

The counseling programs at Columbus State University strive to prepare professional counselors who through their training, have the knowledge and experience necessary to be effective contributors to the counseling profession. Faculty members, with many years of practice, research and training, are contributing members of professional counseling organizations and provide direct training and supervision to students. The faculty’s primary objective is to serve the students in the program and prepare them to be effective counselors in a variety of settings and to achieve their professional goals. Through a variety of learning experiences, including coursework, lectures, experiential activities and direct counseling experiences through practicum and internships under supervision, students reach these goals. The program serves  a diverse student population.  The counseling faculty works closely with students to provide the tools necessary to construct a professional counseling identity.
