Research Opportunities

Counseling graduate students are encouraged but not required to work with faculty on research projects. Conducting research is a great way to learn about  counseling first-hand. It is also an important experience to have if you are interested in applying to doctoral programs.

Are you interested in conducting research with faculty in the Department of Counseling? 

Faculty in the Department of Psychology and Counseling often engage in research throughout the school year. Some lead research and/or clinical labs where students can gain research experience.
