Ringkasan program

This program prepares students to assess, treat and apply counseling psychology to forensic settings. Courses in the program focus on developing the knowledge and skills necessary to assist with the unique challenges facing incarcerated individuals and their families. Courses also focus on preparing students to provide ethical, high quality services to culturally diverse individuals and organizations both within and outside of the criminal justice system. It combines rigorous academic instruction with field placements through which students achieve hands on experience under the supervision of licensed professionals. Though the primary goal of the program is to prepare master’s level clinicians, it also provides students with some of the necessary foundational courses for pursuing further graduate study in psychology. Specific opportunities for employment include community mental health clinics, child advocacy and domestic violence centers, correctional facilities such as prisons and parole offices, hospital behavioral health units, and court services settings such as mental health courts or drug courts. Graduates will also be prepared to work in general counseling settings should they decide to work outside the criminal justice system at a later date. Graduates of this program will have fulfilled all educational requirements to qualify for licensure in the state of Illinois as a licensed professional counselor (LPC).
