JCU Counseling graduates are in demand. Our CACREP-accredited programs prepare you for licensure in clinical mental health counseling or school counseling, and our employment rate speaks for itself - virtually every graduate finds meaningful work in the field.

Small cohort sizes mean you learn alongside a tight-knit group of peers who become your professional network. Our faculty are practicing clinicians who bring real-world expertise to the classroom and serve as mentors throughout your journey to becoming a licensed counselor.
