Dear [FirstName],
Thank you for your interest in our Master of Counseling program! OSU-Cascades' nationally accredited graduate counseling program provides the theory and practice to enable you to deliver professional counseling services in a clinical mental health or school setting. Students also have the option of completing the program requirements for both clinical mental health and school counseling. Our graduate counseling program prepares the counselors of tomorrow with exceptional in-classroom instruction using a cohort model where students form strong bonds as they progress through their coursework together.
The coursework for this program integrates academic knowledge and theory with counseling practice and internships. In addition to coursework, students complete a 100 hour practicum and a 600 hour internship for school track or a 900 hour internship for Clinical Mental Health. The master's level internship hours in the final year are intensive and typically range from 30-40 clock hours per week.
The counseling program is accredited by the Council for Accrediting Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), the gold standard in graduate counseling programs. This accreditation allows the student to take exams needed to meet initial eligibility requirements for licensure as an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor. The program is recognized by the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and the National Board of Certified Counselors as meeting the coursework requirements for state licensing and national certification.
The cohort-based program begins in June. Students may choose from the three-year part-time program or the two-year full-time program.
