Master of Education (Counselling)
Program Description
The Counselling Program has a
school counselling stream and an agency counselling stream. Normally,
the full-time program is designed to be completed within a 14 month
period beginning in the summer of year one and ending in mid August of
the following summer. As such, the workload can be intense. Students are
advised to manage their time well in order to meet the demands of this
program. Each individual needs to consider if this demanding schedule is compatible with their other commitments. The part-time program is
designed as a cohort group allowing for a schedule of professional
courses over a three year period. The program intends to provide competent practitioners who have
solid academic and research orientations who are able to adapt to
changing and diversifying roles of counsellors. The program operates from an integrative
theoretical orientation. Students are exposed to a wide variety of
counselling approaches including existential, person-centered,
cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and family-systems. The core courses
are designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge to enable
them to work as counsellors or consultants, in private, institutional
and academic settings.
The
general objectives of the program are:
- the development, application
and evaluation of counselling practices
- promotion of ethical
behavior
- understanding of and respect for human diversity
- coverage of the broad discipline of counselling.
To accomplish these
objectives, the plan of study includes a series of courses and a
practicum that is supervised by professional counsellors in schools,
university/college and community agencies.
