Program Description
The counseling program in the Department of Educational Psychology offers two distinct concentration areas: Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling
Given UWM’s location in the largest urban area in Wisconsin, the counseling faculty is committed to training multiculturally competent community counselors and school counselors to serve clients in urban environments. Both concentrations share a core preparation in the areas of counseling and educational psychology. As students make progress in their program of studies, their focus will take on a more specialized training with content-specific courses and field placements where they will refine their counseling skills in practical settings.
