Programs in the Department of Counseling Psychology and Human Services educate and train professionals in counseling psychology, couples and family therapy, prevention science, and family and human services. Students are trained to effectively identify, prevent, and treat psychological and public health problems in children, adolescents, adults, and families. At the doctoral level, students extend scientific knowledge through research in collaboration with faculty mentors. Field placements, practicum placements, and internships at all levels of training provide students with opportunities to practice in schools, community agencies, and clinical and research settings under the supervision of faculty members, agency personnel, and collaborating scholars.
