Counseling Minor
The Counseling minor represents a valuable educational opportunity for those students interested in seeking employment within the human services professions. The goal of the minor is to prepare students for careers in the criminal justice fields of probation, parole, corrections and victim advocacy that require counseling, communication and interview skills. In addition, course offerings provide an opportunity to explore many topics relevant to work within a broad range of criminal justice and public service systems, such as human growth and development, counseling and vocational theory, ethics, diversity and multiculturalism, leadership, family systems, spirituality, gender dynamics, crisis intervention and research methodology.(Requirements, Admissions)
