This Ph.D. program in Counselor Education (which assumes students hold a master's degree in a related field) prepares students for teaching, research, and supervisory staff roles in institutions of higher learning, as well as in community agencies. The program stresses research and counseling and includes skills training as the model for preparation. Students choose an area of concentration (e.g., school, grief, rehabilitation, or health psychology); they may also elect other concentrations. Interaction among students is encouraged since many students have years of experience. At UB, we understand that much learning comes about through peer interaction.
