Counseling & Human Development Master's Degrees

The Warner School offers master’s degrees in counseling and human development. Counseling programs prepare students to be counselors in schools and/or community settings, while human development programs give students a broad understanding of issues in human development and emphasize experience and training in research in psychosocial development.

Warner’s master’s degrees in counseling share a majority of the same courses, but have distinct differences in the practicum/internship placements and in the specialization of particular courses in the school and community counseling tracks. The clinical sequence plays a central educational role in helping students develop counseling skills and bridge theory and practice. They also provide an opportunity for students to experience different counseling settings and clarify their career goals.

Researchers and educators who are seeking solutions to human problems in organizations and communities will find Warner’s master’s degrees in human development an exciting place to study. Our graduates pursue positions in health and human service agencies, research projects, case management, and family outreach, and many continue their education in doctoral programs. The program can be completed in one year if studying full-time and is designed with maximum flexibility to allow students to draw widely from the resources of the University in developing their own area of interest and expertise.
