Counseling & Educational Psychology

Welcome to the Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology

The Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology at Marquette is primarily a graduate department which offers three degree programs: a Master's in Counseling, a Master's in Educational Psychology, and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, which is accredited by the American Psychological Association.

Our Master's in Counseling program leads primarily toward careers as Licensed Professional Counselors or Licensed School Counselors, while our Master's in Educational Psychology emphasizes the development of research and program evaluation skills. Our Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology emphasizes the integration of psychological science and practice, and is designed to prepare students for careers as Licensed Psychologists engaged in practice, teaching, and research.

Our Commitment to Quality Graduate Education

Our faculty are committed to offering quality programs which emphasize current, comprehensive preparation for careers in counseling and psychology. In fact, our commitment to graduate training was recently recognized by the American Psychological Association of Graduate Students which presented us with the 2002 Department of the Year Award. This award is presented each year to "a graduate psychology department that has exemplified outstanding commitment towards graduate students and graduate student life, recognizing superior assistance and attention to students' needs, as well as excellent faculty student relations."
