Dr. Sylvia Marotta, Chair

Welcome to the Counseling/ Human and Organizational Studies (C/HOS) Home Page. Our location allows us to provide a unique program designed to prepare highly knowledgeable, competent helping professionals and to conduct research and community outreach for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing human development, learning, adjustment and change in the personal, interpersonal, organizational and societal spheres. We accomplish this through education, research and training programs in counseling and human resource development.

We offer the following master's and doctoral level degrees in counseling and human resource development:

If you are interested in our graduate programs in counseling and human resource development, here are some points for you to consider in making your decision:

  • Our department comprises three major areas - counseling, human resource development and human development. We offer both master's and doctoral level degrees in counseling and human resource development. The Graduate School of Education and Human Development houses our department, and it is among the top 25 schools of education in the country. The Rehabilitation Counseling Program is ranked 5th in the nation by U.S. News and World Report.
  • We have 23 faculty, whose research interests vary from Eriksonian human development to the study of learning to aging effectively to HIV/AIDS issues. Last year, the department's faculty published 22 peer reviewed journal articles; 34 book chapters, monographs or other publications; and 18 Grants. Faculty members delivered 31 national presentations and seven international presentations. Many of our faculty have held or currently hold national offices in professional associations; others serve on editorial review boards of major journals. You will be learning alongside a distinguished faculty.
  • We have a large and talented research staff that helps implement the department's mission through grant programs and institutes. Last year, the faculty wrote 18 new or continuing grant proposals. Many of the project staff for these funded proposals are advanced graduate students in our programs. These students benefit from being able to apply their new learning to venues closely related to their professional fields.
  • The Counseling Programs are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) and the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE).
  • The Human Resource Development Programs have a number of partnerships with corporations that allow students opportunities for real-world learning experiences.
