Rehabilitation Counseling

This area of specialization is intended to prepare rehabilitation counselors who will qualify for administrative positions in human services agencies. The didactic coursework include graduate studies in manpower, employment and training, and public administration. The course work is supplemented by a practicum in Human Resources Administration.

A minimum of 67 credit hours of graduate work (that is, 18 additional credit hours) is required to complete the degree program, which includes eighteen credit hours in the specialty area. An individualized program plan is also developed for each student electing Human Resources Management as the specialty area.

Nine credit hours (600 clock hours) in internship courses included in the regular rehabilitation counseling program and three credit hours (90 clock hours) in the practicum in Human Resources Administration are mandatory for all students in this specialty area.
