The Counseling Program at Mercer University is seeking
qualified applicants for the
Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision for Fall semester 2014
The program admits 12 candidates once a year.
Applications must be completed by January 31, 2014 to be considered for
admission. Every student admitted receives graduate
assistantships with a stipend and other teaching and supervision
opportunities.
The Counseling program’s mission at Mercer University is
based upon a fundamental belief in the diversity, dignity, and inherent worth
of all human beings and in the central role education plays in a democratic
society. The Counseling faculty actively supports the College of Continuing and
Professional Studies’ commitment to quality instruction and community service.
Doctoral training extends beyond course content hours and
field experiences. Doctoral students learn to examine critically the state of
the art, to generate research inquiries, and to advance the profession of
counseling through oral and written contributions.
The Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision is
unique as students are required to complete a counseling cognate as well as an
18 hour cognate in another discipline of interest to the student. A broad
interdisciplinary base at Mercer allows for great breadth in academic pursuits
for doctoral students. The doctoral level counselor represents a
"scientist practitioner" model and should be both consumer and
producer of research. Doctoral degree requirements in counseling are rigorous.
The selection process for admission to the program considers this factor.
Students admitted to the program have convinced the selection committee of
potential for successful program completion.
Our 11 Full-time faculty members offer a wealth of
experience in teaching, mentoring, and research, and serve as leaders in both
state and national counseling organizations. The program faculty’s
expertise allows students to develop in-depth knowledge of numerous counseling
specialty areas.
The Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision program
is offered with evening classes on the Atlanta, GA, campus of Mercer
University. With over 5 million people in the metro Atlanta area and the
world’s busiest airport, Atlanta is not only ‘the crossroads of the south’ but
is an international city, offering our students a great diversity of personal,
clinical, and professional opportunities.
