Ph.D. in Counseling
Meet your career goals by earning your Ph.D. in Counseling through Oregon State University's College of Education and Extended Campus.
Overview
The Ph.D. in Counseling program prepares students to work as advanced practitioners, clinical supervisors and counselor educators in clinical and academic settings. The goal of the program emphasizes student contribution to the counseling profession through research while understanding and addressing the societal changes of the 21st Century. Our program is CACREP accredited and aims to prepare graduates to be leaders and advocates for change.
Participants
Applicants are required to have a master's in counseling or closely related field, which can be applied to your Ph.D. total credits. Interested students must have a commitment to solving critical human problems in our increasingly diverse world.
Collaborative Cohort Model
As a Ph.D. in Counseling student, you become a member of a supportive and active cohort of peers. The OSU Ph.D. in Counseling program is currently enrolling its 59th cohort. Past participants have included working professional counselors from Oregon, Washington, California, Hawaii and Alaska. Each student is guided by a department professor or adviser throughout this three- to five-year (post-master's) doctoral degree program.
Online/Face-to-Face Hybrid Format
The program operates as a "hybrid" program involving both face-to-face and online instruction for each course. Face-to-face classes occur only twice each quarter in a Friday through Saturday block in Wilsonville, OR. Because the face-to-face course location is in the Portland Metro area, it is easily accessible from the Portland International Airport and surrounding regions, making it possible for out-of-state students to participate.
