UNDERGRADUATE
The department provides undergraduate students with courses in Counselor
Education, Educational Media, and Educational Psychology, but it does not offer an
undergraduate degree program. The educational psychology courses offer basic psychological
concepts that undergird the educational process. In addition, the department seeks to
provide experiences that will assist the undergraduate student to acquire analytic tools
and observational skills necessary to deal with educational concerns. The courses are
designed to broaden and strengthen the student's preparation for dealing with professional
educational functions.
GRADUATE

Master of Education degree in Educational Media, School Counseling, and School
Psychometry, the Master of Science degree in Community Counseling, Rehabilitation

Instructional Design and Development.
