Intensive courses
In the Graduate Program in Counseling, there are two courses that must be taken as intensive courses. Both courses are offered twice a year in two different formats. Students may choose which format and session time works best for them with the help of their advisor. These courses focus on the development of counseling skills and students will view demonstrations as well as receive personalized feedback and coaching.
