Counseling Psychology graduate students have two options to choose from: The 60 credit hour Licensed Mental Health Counselor option, and the 45 hour thesis option (below).
The Counseling Psychology concentration is designed primarily to prepare individuals for admission to a doctoral program in Clinical or Counseling Psychology. Students must complete the core departmental requirements, a 450-hour field placement across two semesters (Practicum and Internship), and a thesis.
Students interested in seeking certification in Guidance and Counseling by the Florida Department of Education may do so by supplementing the coursework described above. Students who do not hold a teaching certificate may have additional prerequisite course work. Please contact Dr. Joyce Nichols at 850-857-6042 for information on current requirements.
