This certificate program teaches skills for designing, developing, delivering and evaluating workplace-learning interventions. Each course in the program is part of the existing curriculum for the master’s degree in human resource development (HRD). Upon completion of the certificate, students may choose to continue in the master’s program, at which point they would be required to submit an application and meet entrance requirements. All coursework completed in the certificate will transfer into the master’s program.

One of the first programs of its kind, this course of study prepares students to work in social services agencies, employment centers and substance abuse programs. It takes an integrated approach to counseling research and practice.

Interns deliver counseling services, under supervision, both in the program’s Community Counseling Services Center and at health and human services agencies in the community.
