    The goals of the Department of Counselor Education and Human Services are:

    1. To prepare elementary and secondary school counselors; student service personnel in higher education; school psychologists; and counselors for community, mental health and other agency settings to reflect the human service practitioner as a facilitator of individual and community growth.
    2. To provide teachers and other helping professionals with specific course offerings designed to build skills and develop understanding relative to identified professional functions within the learning communities. These two missions are conducted at the University of Dayton campus, Columbus, and other sites as approved.


    The department offers seven programs at the graduate level:

    1. Applied Behavior Analysis
    2. Clinical Mental Health Counseling
    3. Higher Education & Student Affairs
    4. Human Services
    5. School Counseling
    6. School Psychology
    7. Leadership in Educational Systems


    In addition, selected courses in behavioral and social science and other related disciplines lead to certification/licensure as a school counselor or school psychologist, as well as to Professional Counselor licensure and Professional Clinical Counselor licensure for social agency personnel. True to Marianist ideals, the faculty are committed to developing the human service practitioner as a skilled facilitator of individual and community growth and as a person knowledgeable of self and children, and youth and adults from varying socioeconomic backgrounds.
