School of Applied Human Sciences
This major is available on the thesis and non-thesis options. The
Clinical Mental Health emphasis requires a minimum of 60 semester
hours for the non-thesis option; the School Counseling emphasis
requires a minimum of 51 semester hours for the non-thesis option.
The thesis option requires an additional 6 hours of COUN 6299
(290:299) for either emphasis. A minimum of 20 hours of 200/6000level course work is required.
All students completing this program must pass the Counselor
Preparation Comprehensive Examination (CPCE). Pass scores on the
CPCE national examination are based each semester on test results

CACREP core curriculum areas for counselor preparation. Students
are also required to write an essay and pass this component as well.
Non-thesis students must successfully complete the final paper and
fulfill program-specific exit requirements. The thesis option requires
a completed thesis and successful oral defense of the research, in
addition to passing the CPCE and meeting program-specific exit
requirements.
