The field of counselor education and supervision is dedicated to both the academic preparation and comprehensive supervision of counselors across multiple settings. The Doctor of Education (EdD) in Counselor Education and Supervision aligns with the Master of Arts (MA) in Professional Counseling in order to encourage entry-level counseling students to work toward becoming doctoral-level advanced practitioners, educators, and supervisors. The EdD in Counselor Education and Supervision Program prepares counselors for a variety of settings by providing the advanced skills and knowledge necessary to provide leadership and advocacy, as well as serve in supervisory, training, and teaching positions in the counseling profession.

Classes meet on Fridays (6-10 p.m.), Saturdays (9-5 p.m.), and Sundays (9-3 p.m.). In addition to the once per month class meetings, students also participate in weekly instructional contact via online courses at Argosy University. This contact enhances the material students are covering in readings as well as in class meetings.

The EdD in Counselor Education and Supervision Program is designed to help current practitioners with existing master’s-level preparation to advance their careers. This doctorate provides expanded opportunities to compete in the market place, on par with the growing number of doctoral-level counseling practitioners. Students should consult with their campus program faculty for information on license eligibility requirements.
