About Us

The mission of the Department of Counseling, School and Educational Psychology (CSEP) is to prepare students to work with individuals, groups and agencies to resolve problems and enhance personal development. Students are taught research and other evidence-based skills and are encouraged to adopt a scientist-practitioner approach. Most classes are small, informal and engaging with a focus on applied student learning. We provide students with applied experience gained through fieldwork, practica and internship placements. The flexibility of our programs allow students to work closely with our faculty who regularly include them in their research projects and publication efforts.
