Counseling and Higher Education students

Scholarship, leadership and
professionalism define the Counseling
and Higher Education programs.

The Department of Counseling and Higher Education comprises two major program areas: Counselor Education and Higher Education. Students from across the country as well as from outside the United States come to study at both of these highly respected programs. Though different in many respects, they both share a commitment to excellence in scholarship, leadership and professionalism in their respective programs.

Counselor Education
The Counselor Education Program at Ohio University was established in 1948by George E. Hill, a national leader in Counselor Education. The first Ph.D. degree from the program was granted in 1962. All degree programs in Counselor Education are nationally accredited. Specialty areas of focus include community counseling, rehabilitation counseling and school counseling.

Our graduates are employed throughout the country and abroad in a variety of positions devoted to service and leadership. There is a long history of outstanding professional accomplishments of both faculty and graduates that is promoted by the program’s emphasis on a holistic approach to the integration of counseling training with a high level of professional commitment and involvement.

Faculty, graduates and students contribute to their own professional development and the growth of the profession by their leadership in professional positions in national and state professional counseling organizations. They practice counseling, conduct research, make professional presentations, publish professional materials and continually strive for their own improvement.

Higher Education
The area of higher education consists of graduate programs in college student personnel and higher education administration. The primary mission of this area is to prepare people for leadership roles in colleges, universities and other agencies devoted to adult learning. Adult learning occurs not only in traditional institutions of higher education, but also in business and industry, social and government agencies, the military and health care organizations.
