M.A. Program /Ph.D. Program

The OSU Counselor Education Program is currently ranked #2 in the nation by US News and World Reports Guide to Best Graduate Schools.  The master's program has two tracks: school counseling and community counseling. The school counseling track prepares school counselors to be leaders and change agents that positively affect student achievement and career aspirations. The community counseling track prepares counselors to assess, diagnose, and treat mental and emotional disorders. Students also learn to incorporate wellness and prevention into their practice. The doctoral program is based on a scientist-practitioner model with an emphasis on theory, practice, leadership, supervision, and research.  It prepares individuals for roles as counselor educators, professional counselors, supervisors, and directors of counseling in public schools, universities, and agencies.

School Psychology ( Home Page )
M.A. Program / Ph.D. Program

The foundation for the School Psychology program at The Ohio State University is based on socio-cultural theories of psychological and educational practices with youth. Socio-cultural theories encompass social cognition and social behavioral principles of understanding and working with a diversity of youth in America's schools. Children do not experience life in a vacuum, but do so within socio-cultural contexts such as school, home, and community. The focus of the School Psychology program is service delivery across many different settings with a particular emphasis on children in urban settings. Within this framework, students are trained as scientist-practitioners who function as data-based decision makers and collaborative problem solvers. The program has a commitment to diversity at the research, training, and service levels.
