Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Counselor Education

University of Cincinnati

The PhD in Counselor Education is a CACREP accredited doctoral program that prepares its graduates to become skilled in research, teaching, and supervision from an ecological perspective. Students select from one of three focuses to develop their specializations (multicultural/social justice, substance abuse, or school counseling). Doctoral graduates are committed to the development of their research and teaching potential, in addition to developing skills that enable them to provide service and leadership for diverse populations, emphasizing underserved groups. Candidates selected to enter the program typically possess clinical competence through their Master's program training. This allows the focus of their training to center upon development and enhancement of research, teaching, supervision, and leadership skills.
