In collaboration with your faculty advisor, you may
wish to design your program of study around a specific
area of interest.
Specialty tracks include:
- Certificate in Aging Studies
- Deaf-Blindness
- Physical Disabilities
- Professional Counseling
Careful planning will typically allow you to meet
the educational requirements for several additional
certifications
beyond the CRC. Your specialization may be as in-depth
as your planning allows and may include:
- customization of assignments in required courses
such as RHAB 633, RHAB 640, RHAB 654 and RHAB 691.
These courses often involve assignments that require
the student to specify a population of interest,
which
the student is free to select.
- required courses specific to your population of
interest.
- careful selection of your six credits of elective
course work.
- careful selection of your 600-hour internship site
and supervisor.
- additional elective course work beyond the required
48 credits.
We realize that experience in the field is one of
the most important aspects of becoming a counselor.
According
to CORE standards and our own requirement, students
must have supervised rehabilitation counseling fieldwork
and internship
experiences.
All students are required to complete the Certified
Rehabilitation Counselor examination.
