Students in the Department of Counseling and Educational Development represent a wide range of ages, undergraduate majors, and professional backgrounds. Some students apply to the program directly from their undergraduate programs, while others reenter school after being in the workforce or raising a family. Examples of common undergraduate majors include psychology, education, philosophy, English, anthropology, and business. Students with medical and engineering backgrounds also have completed the program. The program is committed to admitting a student body that is rich in diversity, including ethnic/racial diversity and sexual orientation.
Typically, 30 entry level (MS and MS/EdS) students and 7 doctoral students are admitted each year. Current and recent students come not only from North Carolina, but also from Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. We also have, or have had, international students from around the world, including the Caribbean, China, England, Germany, India, Kenya, Norway, Turkey and South Korea. 2007-2008 Cohorts
Students have living options on-campus and off-campus. On-campus, there is suite style housing with 4-5 bedrooms and a common living and kitchen area (Tower Village Suites). Most students, however, live off-campus. Those living off-campus can choose from a variety of apartment complexes, including those within walking and biking distance and those within a 10-20 minute drive. More detailed information on on-campus housing is available from the Housing and Residence Life Office (336.334.5636); off-campus housing information is available from the Elliott Center Information Desk (336.334.5510), as well as through various websites on our City of Greensboro page.
"Leadership through service. Service through leadership."
The fulltime nature of the program allows students to choose among many varied opportunities for professional service, which also provide professional development for participants. Our Upsilon Nu Chi chapter has numerous and active committies; many students also become involved in volunteer and elected positions in local, state, and even national counseling organizations. Others focus on writing and publishing, presentations, and other scholarly activities. Students are strongly encouraged to be contributors in whatever ways are the best "fit" between their skills and professional goals and the many opportunities for leadership and service, while at UNCG and beyond. Each year, the Department produces an annual report which summarizes the professional involvement activities of all its students. It's always an impressive and varied list!
