Overview

A variety of assessment and intervention approaches are covered in this Psychology - Clinical Counseling program at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, with an emphasis on empirically supported techniques.

Our graduates are well-prepared clinicians and consumers of the research literature. The training ensures the development of broad-based clinical skills and encourages close, cooperative work with other healthcare specialists such as physicians, other mental health professionals and allied health professionals.

Outcomes

Graduates typically work in community mental health centers, hospitals, correctional facilities, private practices and other outpatient mental health facilities. About 20 percent of graduates pursue doctoral level studies, usually in clinical psychology.

Almost all of our graduates find employment immediately upon graduation and a high percentage of our graduates, more than 96 percent, pass the National Counselor Examination on the first attempt. This is the examination used by most licensure boards for entry-level licensure as a professional counselor.
