Starting this summer, the graduate Counseling program is launching a new accelerated sequence for their Counseling Masters programs, concentrating in either Clinical Mental Health Counseling or School Counseling. This plan of study will allow students who start in the summer semester to complete the entire 60 credit program, including the year-long internship/practicum, in a little over two years. Students take 4 courses per term on average, which are primarily offered in the evenings, with some online and hybrid courses.

"I almost wish I hadn't gone down that rabbit–hole – and yet – and yet – it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life!"

I often refer to research as "going down the rabbit hole." It's a never–ending process with paths off of paths, hallways leading to nowhere, rooms inside rooms. It can be frustrating, especially for graduate students on a deadline. I wouldn't presume to say, "Don't be frustrated!" That would be pointless. However, when you get frustrated, try to remember that the rabbit hole leads to Wonderland, which may at times bring confusion, but also brings revelation.
