School or Community Counseling

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.
