The American Psychological Association accredits the Ph.D. major in Counseling Psychology at Georgia State University. It subscribes to a scientist practitioner model for the training of counseling psychologists. Students are prepared to profit from and contribute to the body of knowledge underlying counseling psychology. Graduates are also equipped with a rich array of clinical skills and are eligible for licensure as applied psychologists. The program of study prepares students for employment in academic and private settings.
The Counselor Education and Practice program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) Doctoral training extends beyond course content hours and field experiences. Doctoral students learn to examine critically the state of the art, to generate research inquiries, and to advance the profession of counseling through oral and written contributions. The doctoral level counselor represents a “scientist-practitioner” model and should be both consumer and producer of research. Students in this program are expected to follow the most recent version of the American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics.
Departmental Endorsement Policy
The Department of Counseling and Psychological Services requires that program faculty endorsement be given only for the program for which the graduate students have been prepared.
