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:

  1. There are more school counseling and clinical mental health counseling jobs available in Southwest Florida right now than we have available professionals.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. Typically, students attend their courses in the early evenings so you would not have to quit your day job.
  5. 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.
  6. The Department of Counseling also offers a certificate in Relationship and Family Counseling.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. The Department includes an on-campus counseling center as well as funds for student professional development opportunities.
