“This program features a dynamic curriculum, which follows ASCA framework,” Forbes Advisor wrote. “It covers foundational knowledge, program models and collaboration within educational settings. Coursework also dives into principles of practical school counseling, including curriculum design, program planning and evaluation, and academic development interventions.”

Forbes Advisor added, “Students can enhance their learning through 100 hours of practicum experience and 600 hours of internship experience. Successful completion of this 60-credit program prepares graduates for the Licensed Professional Counselor exam.”

Graduate student recognized as #BigShotOnCampus

Ana Hinojosa, a second-year graduate student in Counseling, has been recognized as a #BigShotOnCampus through the American Health Association CoVac Initiative for her efforts in increasing vaccine confidence and combating misinformation. 

Hinojosa took the lead with her fellow peer educators and coordinated a 13-week, weekly myth-busting question-and-answer survey and corresponding table events. She also coordinated and ran mobile vaccination sites. 

As a five-year member of the Health Education Resource Office, she plays a critical role in the day-to-day success of continued education efforts in regard to COVID-19 and vaccination efforts. 

Hinojosa is a work-study in the Health Education Resource Office, which is now part of the Wellness Center.
