Quick Facts:

Regardless of specialization, students pursuing an MA in Counselor Education must demonstrate knowledge and skills in all Student Learning Outcomes identified with the CACREP standards for core and specialization areas.

The Counselor Education Program, housed in the Division of Education and Counseling, furthers Xavier’s mission by preparing counselors to assume roles of leadership and service in society as Professional Counselors through our CACREP accredited standards-based program.

The Counseling Program offers two specialty areas: school counseling and clinical mental health counseling. Both specializations meet the academic requirements of the Louisiana Professional Counselors Board of Examiners leading to licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
