Justification and Assessment
Next
  • Rationale*
    We are requesting three revisions to the Ed.D. in Professional Counseling and Supervision. (1) The addition of one admissions requirement--an interview with the faculty. This admissions requirement was previously required by the program and was removed a few years ago. The faculty would like to reinstate this admissions requirement in an effort to add an additional layer to the identification and selection of high quality doctoral applicants. (2) The identification of pre-approved course electives for the 60-hour track. The following courses are pre-approved electives for students completing the 60-hour track of the Ed.D. program: CEPD 8138, CEPD 8152, CEPD 8171, and CEPD 8141. This does not apply to students completing the 39-hour track of the Ed.D. program, as they are not required to complete elective courses. We would like to identify the aforementioned four CEPD courses so that these electives automatically apply towards the 60-hour degree track within WolfWatch. In addition, we would like to add the language additional courses may be approved by the program director" to allow for deviations from the aforementioned four electives, as approved by the program director. (3) Program Description - these proposed revisions help to align the outdated program description with the current program structure. The program mission statement has been revised since the original program description was developed, and has been adjusted accordingly in this revised program description. Additionally, the two academic tracks (60-hour and 39-hour) have been highlighted to demonstrate the program options for those who enter with or without an Ed.S. in counseling. Current program description: The mission of the Professional Counseling and Supervision program is to prepare School and Community Counselors to be exemplary leaders in professional counseling and supervision and in program evaluation. In addition, they will demonstrate a commitment to helping marginalized and underserved populations in the communities, schools, and agencies they serve. The program consists of 117 graduate hours, 30 hours beyond a 60 hour CACREP accredited (or CACREP equivalent) master's degree and 27 hour Ed.S. degree in counseling. After a rigorous screening process, cohorts are selected in March of each year, and students will be notified of their acceptance in April. The fully online degree program begins in the summer semester. The program is designed to be completed in two full years (6 semesters, including summers, for the 39-hour track) or three years (9 semesters, including summers, for the 60-hour track) Successful completion and defense of a dissertation are required. Proposed revised program description: The mission of the Professional Counseling and Supervision program is to prepare counseling professionals to positively impact their clients and communities of service through effective practices and programs, leadership, and advocacy. In addition, program graduates will demonstrate competency in program evaluation and a commitment to helping marginalized and underserved populations in the communities, schools, and agencies they serve. This leader-practitioner program consists of two tracks: (a) 60 credit hours for those who enter without an Ed.S. in counseling or (b) 39 credit hours for those who enter with an Ed.S. in counseling.

The program is designed to be completed in two full years (6 semesters, including summers, for the 39-hour track) or three years (9 semesters, including summers, for the 60-hour track). Successful completion and defense of a dissertation are required. Please note that, because these requested revisions do not alter the required program curriculum, the program assessment map does not reflect revisions based on the identified program elective courses; elective courses are not incorporated into the overall program evaluation plan.

    All major programs must include an assessment plan. Stand-alone minors must have an assessment plan as well.  A stand-alone minor is a minor that can be earned in a program that does not offer an undergraduates degree with a major in that discipline (for example, a student can earn a minor in Africana Studies but cannot complete a bachelor's degree with a major in Africana Studies). Minors in a discipline where a corresponding major is offered, are not required to include an assessment plan.
