Academic and Professional Preparation
Students seeking a master's degree in counseling without an undergraduate background in education or psychology must have a minimum of 12 credits in foundation courses. These credits may be earned at the undergraduate or graduate level, but they are not counted as part of the required courses for the degree program. Students must complete the prerequisite foundation courses prior to full admission.
Foundation courses may include courses in psychology, sociology, and education. The Graduate Programs director may approve other related courses such as management, human resource management, cultural studies, and women's studies.
Demonstrating the attainment of the foundation requirements may be accomplished by official undergraduate or graduate transcripts and/or official scores from standardized exams such as CLEP and DANTES.
Students are encouraged to contact the Graduate Programs administrative staff by e-mail at gradrecords-couns@europe.umuc.edu, by telephone, or in person to discuss admission qualifications.
