College and University Counseling Certificate


Program Objectives


The Certificate Program in College and University Counseling (CCUC) is designed to provide specialized training and supervision for clinical mental health counseling students and graduates who are interested in gaining further knowledge and skills working with the college population from a holistic perspective. Training areas include an understanding of the college environment, roles and responsibilities connected to working in a college or university counseling center, student development theory and models, and specialized student affairs areas. The Certificate Program is not intended to provide all the training necessary to function as an independent professional, but rather to supplement a degree in clinical mental health counseling as a specialized area of study.

Admission Criteria


To apply for enrollment in the Certificate Program in College and University Counseling, a student must submit an application that indicates intent to complete the certificate program. Only currently enrolled degree-seeking students of the Rollins College Graduate Studies in Counseling program are eligible to apply. Currently enrolled students must also meet with the program’s academic advisor to adjust their proposed program of study for approval by the department chair.

Curriculum:


The Certificate Program in College and University Counseling can be completed concurrently with the master’s degree program and requires students to complete 24 semester hours of credit. These include 5 credit hours in College and University core courses, 9 credit hours of GSC core courses in areas connected to working with the college population, and 10 credit hours of practicum and internship at a CCUC approved college or university counseling setting.

Additional information and application can be obtained through the Counseling Department or Holt Student Services.
