Montclair State University announced that it is accepting applicants for its first Ph.D. program: a doctoral program in counselor education that was approved by the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education.
The only doctoral program in counselor education in the New York metropolitan area, the primary objective of this Ph.D. program is to prepare scholars and practitioners to become leaders in maximizing the mental health and quality of life for individuals, families, communities, and educational organizations.
"I am so proud that we will be offering the first Ph.D. program in counselor education in the region," comments Ada Beth Cutler, Dean of the College of Education and Human Services. "Our faculty is second to none and we expect an overwhelming response from prospective applicants who need this doctoral degree to advance in their field."
Individuals with counselor education doctoral degrees work as academic faculty in higher education and in administrative and managerial roles in health care agencies, nonprofit organizations, community agencies, and student affairs/academic affairs units in colleges and universities as well as in businesses. In addition to working in such agencies and in business, holders of Ph.D. degrees in counselor education also serve as consultants for agencies on specific projects-for example, consultants to state departments of education concerning guidance outreach to underserved populations.
The Montclair State University Ph.D. program in counselor education combines scholarly preparation and advanced counseling and supervision practice in preparation to pursue these and other career opportunities. Applications are being accepted for Fall 2009 study. Review of completed applications, including review for doctoral assistantships, will begin on or about November 1, 2008. The final application deadline for Fall 2009 is February 1, 2009.
We will be hosting an Information Session regarding this program on Wednesday, July 30 from 6:00 - 7:30pm in University Hall Room 1020. Prospective students will have the opportunity to meet program faculty and learn about application and program requirements. The session will end with a reception offering light refreshments.
