University of Missouri - St. Louis  

The Doctoral Program in Counselor Education at the University of Missouri-St. Louis prepares doctoral level counselor educators and supervisors to train professional counselors who will provide services to meet the mental health needs of culturally diverse individuals, groups, couples, and families in need. The goal is to train practitioner-scholar-advocates who can contribute to the professional counseling field in academic, research, and practice contexts. The program’s outreach extends to individuals who practice counseling in schools, colleges and universities, community based organizations, business and industry, as well as independent practice. The program strives to develop a culturally diverse student population and to draw students from local, regional, national, and international locations.
