Both the M.A. and M.ED.
programs contain a substantive common core of courses
in counselling theory and skill acquisition. In
addition to basic counselling theory, important
aspects of the core include counselling skill development
under direct faculty supervision in one of the Department's
school or community-based training centres, development
of appropriate assessment skills using standardized
and non-standardized measures, and further development
of counselling skills in a final practicum most
often based within a school or community agency
setting.
In addition to offering core courses, both Master's
programs allow students to focus on one of the three
areas for which we have accreditation from the Council for the Accreditation of Counselling Education Program (CACEP, an affiliation of the Canadian Counselling Association):
School
Counselling
Counselling
