Becoming a
counselor...
Applicants to the Oregon State University Cascades MS in Counseling
program, located in beautiful Central Oregon, all share a
professional commitment to work with children, youth, adults,
and/or families in a school, community college, agency or
professional setting.
The OSU-Cascades MS in Counseling program emphasizes academic
excellence, competence in counseling skills, and personal growth.
Coursework integrates academic knowledge and theory with closely
supervised counseling practice and 15 internship credit hours.
This is a part-time, cohort-based system that
spans three to three and a half years. Each cohort starts the
program in June of their first year. Classes are scheduled for
those who work full or part time and evening classes are taken two
days a week. So whether you work full-time or part-time, you
can also be a member of our counseling cohort, working toward your
Masters in Counseling.
Our guiding credo is DRIVE: Dignity, Respect, Integrity, Value, and Equality in our actions towards all humankind.
