About this course

What will I learn?

The Doctor of Philosophy program in rehabilitation counselor education requires a minimum of 90 s.h. of graduate credit. The program prepares professionals for leadership roles in rehabilitation counselor education, research, administration, and service delivery systems. It provides rehabilitation counselors the opportunity to master knowledge; clinical, teaching, and supervisory skills; and research competencies at the most advanced levels.

Ph.D. students focus on three areas of advanced development: rehabilitation counselor education and supervision, research, and professional practice. The program is flexible, permitting students to pursue individualized plans of study within the required curriculum. Ph.D. graduates are expected to have sufficient knowledge and skill to teach at colleges and universities, supervise other professionals, and provide clinical services to clients. They also should have competencies to engage in and evaluate theoretical, qualitative, and quantitative research.

Each student is required to submit a curriculum plan. The rehabilitation counseling faculty reviews each student annually. Students must meet the department's requirements in order to continue in the program.

The 90 s.h. required for the degree may include credit for relevant course work completed for a master's degree. This combination of master's and doctoral course work ensures exposure to vocational and psychiatric rehabilitation as well as to independent living rehabilitation and community-based counseling processes, concepts, programs, and services.
