Counseling Psychology PhD programs accept less than 12% of the students who apply (APA Graduate Study in Psychology Summary Report). Given the extremely competitive nature of doctoral admissions, students often choose to first complete a counseling psychology master’s program, where they can develop the professional identity and skills needed to be accepted into a counseling psychology doctoral program.
The University of Kentucky’s Master of Science (M.S.) in Education is a two year, full-time (12 credits per fall/spring semester), 48 credit hour terminal degree program that provides students with the comprehensive, foundational training specifically designed to prepare students to successfully apply for Counseling Psychology doctoral programs.
