Welcome from the Chair
Dr. Michael Rohr

Welcome to the Department of Counseling & Psychology. We are committed to the success of our students throughout their educational process. Our program has been developed by using the highest professional standards and continually strives to exemplify all ethical and professional standards. We believe that our knowledgeable faculty and staff will challenge students to reach their full potential. We also believe these skills will be developed to facilitate life-long learning.

The Department of Counseling & Psychology administers the undergraduate degree in psychology, as well as graduate degrees in educational psychology, and counselor education.

The undergraduate psychology program prepares students for graduate training in psychology, counseling or related fields. A primary mission of this program is to provide a well-rounded education that would promote and facilitate entry into applied areas of psychology. Our program of study emphasizes a strong research component. Additionally, students are afforded opportunities to explore interests in specialized areas of psychology using guided electives and applied research opportunities.

The graduate program offers the Masters of Arts and Specialist in Education degrees in educational psychology, school psychology, agency counseling, mental health counseling and school counseling. The majority of our graduate courses are offered in the evening and at night to accommodate students currently employed in educational or professional settings. Completion of the programs of study prepares students for licensure in their respective areas. Descriptions of various programs of study (PDF) are provided on our web site.

Our department is composed of faculty from diverse backgrounds who attempt to embrace acceptance of a broad range of personal viewpoints, as well as theories of psychology and counseling. We believe that our greatest strength is our commitment to students and assisting them in meeting their educational goals. Thus, we believe students in our programs are afforded the special opportunity to work in collaboration with faculty to accomplish their educational goals.

If you are interested in pursuit of a major in our department, we invite you to come by and visit or contact us by phone or e-mail for further information.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael Rohr, Chair
