Program Assessment and Evaluation
A few key outcome data metrics for our programs in the 2022-2023 academic year:
In Summer 2023, Fall 2023 and Spring 2024, nineteen students earned master’s degrees in the school counseling track, sixteen earned M.Ed. degrees in the couples and family counseling track, and one earned a M.Ed. degree in the college counseling and student affairs track. We also celebrated two graduates of the Ph.D. in Education, Concentration in Counselor Education and Supervision.
When looking at full time students in the program, 95% of students admitted to the M.Ed. in Counselor Education’s school counseling concentration, 98% of students admitted to the M.Ed. in Counselor Education’s couples and family counseling, and 80% of the students admitted to the college counseling and student affairs concentration completed the degree program within 2 1/2 years. For our doctoral students who attended full time, we had a three-year graduation rate of 50%.
Approximately 100% of school counseling track, couples and family counseling track, and college counseling and student affairs track graduates obtained jobs in counseling or in a related field or were enrolled in doctoral studies within six months of completing our M.Ed. program. For our doctoral program, 100% of our doctoral graduates obtained jobs within six months of completing the degree.
