The purpose of this guide is to provide specific information that will assist students as they consider applying to the PhD program in Counselor Education. Specific descriptions of courses are in the Texas Tech University Graduate Catalog. Information about Texas Tech University can be found on-line at www.ttu.edu. Information about the College of Education can be found at www.educ.ttu.edu. Additional information is in the Student Handbook for Graduate Study in Counseling, which students receive when they are admitted to the program.
The overall goal of the PhD program in Counselor Education is to develop within the student the specific knowledge and experience bases necessary to become effective counselor educators, counselor supervisors, counseling researchers, and/or leaders in counseling-related educational settings.
The Counselor Education program faculty members have defined their mission as training counselors, not psychologists. While the professions of counseling and psychology are akin, there are distinct differences. Thus prospective applicants desiring a degree in psychology and/or licensure as a psychologist are encouraged to apply to a psychology training program.
The College of Education is accredited by the National Council for Teacher Accreditation (NCATE). The Counselor Education Program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).
