Graduate Programs-College Counseling & Student Development
Welcome
Dear CCSD Student ,
On behalf of the faculty here in the Department of Counselor Education and Educational Psychology, I would like to welcome you to St. Cloud State University . This is truly an exciting time to be at SCSU as we are in the midst of a number of exciting changes that will benefit our students. The graduate program in College Counseling & Student Development (CCSD) is getting stronger every day and we have recently added several new faculty members to the Department of Counselor Education and Educational Psychology. The commitment you have made to enter the graduate program in CCSD and to spend your next few years with us will undoubtedly prove to be one of the best decisions of your life.
It is our goal to provide you with the knowledge, attitude, skills and tools that will enable you to serve as a competent student affairs professional. It is also within our master plan to provide you the proper balance between theory, practice and research, as well as an opportunity to utilize these tools in a manner that enhances your educational experience here at SCSU.
As a student in the Department of Counselor Education and Educational Psychology at SCSU you will be working with an excellent group of faculty members and peers in an exciting program. While the program emphasizes College Counseling & Student Development, it is, at its roots, a counseling program. When you graduate, you will be prepared for professional work in a variety of college, university, and community college settings as well as other counseling-related positions in the community at large.
Again I welcome you to St. Cloud State University and the Graduate Program in College Counseling & Student Development.
Sincerely,
