Policy Statement

The Department of Psychology and Counseling believes that students and faculty share an ethical responsibility to assure that individuals preparing for careers in mental health services possess both the academic qualifications and level of personal adjustment necessary to function effectively as professional mental health service providers.

All students in the department are expected to maintain satisfactory ethical standards and adequate self-understanding. Student performance is monitored by the department by means of semester grades and behavioral evidence of appropriate adjustment and professional conduct. If satisfactory progress is not being made, the department will inform the student and suggest possible steps toward remediation (and specify criteria to regain good standing in the program) or offer assistance to the student in finding a field of study that is more suited to the student's interests and/or abilities. Unethical behavior is considered grounds for immediate dismissal from graduate mental health service practitioner training programs.

Advisement

All students are assigned a faculty advisor upon admission. Advisors have a number of career oriented curriculum plans showing required and suggested courses. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with their advisors at least once a semester (before enrollment) to insure that their personal curriculum plans are appropriate to career plans.

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS

Students often think only of mental hospitals as places for employment for those interested in work related to psychology. Among the many positions available to psychology majors with a bachelor's degree are mental retardation professional, correctional officer, manpower development administrator, media buyer, recreation worker, daycare center supervisor, or personnel director. These are only a few of many positions which use the student's knowledge of psychology. However, students who wish to have professional status as a psychologist or counselor must obtain a master's or doctoral degree. Students planning on graduate study in psychology or counseling should work closely with a department advisor.

GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS

A student who wants a career as a professional psychologist or counselor should plan on graduate study. The Department of Psychology and Counseling offers the Master of Science degree with a major in either psychology or counseling and the Specialist in Education degree with a major in either counseling or school psychology.

The Master of Science degree with a major in psychology and the Master of Science degree with a major in counseling have been developed specifically to prepare students for a variety of careers in schools and other community agencies offering psychological services. The Ed.S. program in counseling is designed to prepare candidates for careers in the development and administration of counseling services, as family therapists, or as community mental health workers. The Ed.S. program in school psychology is designed to prepare candidates for careers as school psychologists.

Graduate Admission Requirements

Applicants for admission to all M. S. degree programs must present evidence of completion of at least 20 hours in psychology and closely related subjects distributed so as to furnish an appropriate background for the work proposed on the graduate level. A GPA of 3.00 is required for full admission. Background courses may be assigned to students who have less than 20 hours of course work in psychology and/or a GPA of less than 3.00 (and who can be admitted conditionally).

The General Test (Verbal, Quantitative, Analytical) of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is required for admission to all programs. All applicants are expected to submit a written statement to the chairperson of the Department of Psychology and Counseling stating educational goals, plans for graduate school, and interest in the psychology and counseling program at B.S.N., along with three letters of reference and the departmental application form. Personal interviews may be required for applied (direct service) programs. Admission is generally competitive and limited by available training and practicum resources. Application deadlines are: Fall admission, May 1; Spring admission, October 1; and Summer admission, March 1. (Applications for M. S. in Psychology--Clinical Options will be accepted for Fall admission only.)

Degree Requirements

In addition to completing the prescribed curricula for the degree program emphasis and option, each student is required to submit a program (plan) of studies for admission to candidacy and to pass a written comprehensive examination.

Program of Studies

Graduate students should prepare a typewritten plan of studies in consultation with the major advisor after completing at least 12 hours of graduate course work and removing all admission deficiencies. This plan should be submitted through the advisor to the department for approval before the student's final 12 hours of coursework in the graduate program.

Comprehensive Examinations

All graduate students in the department are required to pass a written comprehensive examination in their last semester of enrollment. Students must register for the comprehensive examinations in the department office and in the office of the Dean of Education no later than the date for petitioning for degrees.

Enrollment in Practicum, Internship, Fieldwork

Any student wishing to enroll in a practicum, internship, or fieldwork of any type in the Department of Psychology and Counseling must complete the application process .Formal application must be made to the department no later than mid-semester of the semester before enrollment in the practicum, internship, or fieldwork course.

Admission to graduate practical or internship is open only to students who have been admitted to candidacy in the specific degree program for which the practicum/internship is required. (The exception to this rule is for students who are re-specializing and adding a second endorsement in elementary or secondary school counseling.) Specific prerequisite coursework requirements apply. Application forms are available in the department office.

Master of Science Degree (M. S.) with a Major in Psychology

General Psychology Option

The M. S. degree requires a core of 15 (18 for thesis option) hours followed by additional courses to total a minimum of 33 hours. Beyond the core the student can, through advisement, direct studies for the M. S. degree toward a terminal program in general psychology, toward community college teaching of psychology, toward a pre-doctoral program, or toward a pre-specialist program in school psychology. Completion of the M. S. degree with a major in psychology (general) does not qualify an individual to be a mental health service provider. The program is not designed to train practitioners and thus students seeking the general M. S. are not eligible to enroll in a practicum or internship in the department.

Contact the Department of Psychology and Counseling for current program guides.

General Requirements

Graduate students may meet requirements for the Master of Science degree with a major in psychology (general) in one of two ways:

Applicants interested in eventual certification as school counselors should understand that while not required for admission to the M. S. degree program, two years of teaching experience or one year of teaching experience and one year of counseling internship are required for endorsement as a school counselor in the state of Kansas.

Endorsement for certification as a vocational education counselor requires a minimum of nine hours of coursework in vocational education and a minimum of 4000 hours of work experience in a non-school setting in addition to the minimum requirements for certification as a secondary school counselor.

Students wishing to pursue registration or licensure as professional counselors (for non-school settings) should understand that additional years of supervised experience (beyond the degree) are required. For professional counselor registration in Kansas, a total of 60 graduate hours is required.

General Requirements

Graduate students may meet requirements for the M. S. degree with a major in counseling by completing a program planned in close collaboration with their academic advisor. All M. S. programs in counseling require a minimum of 28 core hours, including a research proficiency component, and 13 to 14 hours in the chosen emphasis, in addition to the practicum and internship.

This degree may also be used to work toward counselor licensure or registration requirements in various states, to specialize beyond the M. S. degree in an area such as marriage and family counseling, or to prepare for doctoral study.

The Ed.S. in counseling requires at least 32 semester hours of intensive work in specialized graduate study beyond the M. S. degree and is based on the requirements common to all Ed. S. curricula in the College of Education (see page 175). It is expected that students seeking the Ed.S. will have completed the M. S. in counseling or a closely related field. The previous academic preparation, experience, and professional aims of the candidates may, however, suggest modifications to the general plan. Suggested curriculum plans, incorporating common requirements as well as suggested and/or required courses for a particular area, are available from the candidate's advisor--whom the candidate is strongly urged to consult before every enrollment.

The student's program may be planned for specialization in:

Community Agency Counseling

Elementary School Counseling

Secondary School Counseling

Family Counseling
