University Calendar

The Montclair State University PhD program in Counselor Education prepares culturally responsive scholars, faculty, advanced practitioners, clinical supervisors, and directors of counseling services in mental health and educational settings, and social justice counseling advocates to be leaders in maximizing the mental health and quality of life for individuals, families, communities, and educational organizations. Individuals with counselor education doctoral degrees work as:

• Consultants for agencies on specific projects (e.g., as consultants to state departments of education concerning counseling outreach to underserved populations)
• Program Evaluators
• Researchers

The PhD Counselor Education Program is built on the national accreditation standards for master’s-level counseling programs. Please go tohttp://www.montclair.edu/cehs/academics/departments/cel/academic-programs/counselor-ed/admission-info/ for information on admissions requirements.
