Now accepting applications
for the School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling programs.
Some quick facts about the
FGCU counseling graduate programs and our graduates:
- There are
more school counseling and clinical mental health counseling jobs
available in Southwest Florida right now than we have available
professionals.
- Most of
our graduates are hired before they even graduate! All of our
students seeking jobs are hired within 3 months of graduation -- most
before graduation, some right afterward.
- The FGCU
graduate program in school counseling is Department of Education approved.
Both the school counseling and clinical mental health counseling
programs are nationally accredited (CACREP).
- Typically,
students attend their courses in the early evenings so you would not
have to quit your day job.
- Several of
our courses are "blended" or "hybrid." This means
that some traditional in-person classes are replaced by online learning
activities. This way, we can take advantage of the best features of both
in-person and online learning.
- The
Department of Counseling also offers a certificate in Relationship and
Family Counseling.
- School
Counseling: Graduates from this program work in public and private
schools that serve PK-12 students, and some work in postsecondary
institutions, including career and technical centers, special training
programs for youth, colleges, and universities.
- Clinical
Mental Health Counseling: Graduates from this program work in
community agencies, mental health settings, and private practices after
graduation, and most seek and achieve licensure.
- The Department
includes an on-campus counseling center as well as funds
for student professional development opportunities.
