Overview

Counseling educators and supervisors shape the field by leading and mentoring current and future counselors. Governors State’s Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Counselor Education and Supervision (CES) prepares experienced counselors for opportunities in the fields of higher education and advanced clinical practice in professional counseling and supervision. A foundation in education and counseling theory, and supervision models, combined with advanced clinical work, teaching, supervising, research and scholarship, and leadership and advocacy opportunities will equip graduates to lead, represent, and empower counselors and who they serve in the field. A Ph.D. degree prepares experienced counselors to become influential instructors, supervisors, researchers, and leaders by increasing expertise in the areas of teaching, supervision, research, advocacy, theory, and professional identity, among others. Specialization in the student's area of interest and goals post-degree, and the development of a scholarship agenda, creates opportunities to have a meaningful impact on the counseling profession and practice.
