Overview

The vision of the Counseling program at Missouri State University also includes the recognition that the need for professional counseling services is growing and expanding beyond traditional boundaries, extending into primary care and working with specific groups like first responders and military veterans. We are also staying abreast of trends in higher education and changes in the counseling profession through exploring different training modalities, including technological advances and collaborative opportunities with other institutions.
