The School of Counseling and Well-being is dedicated to the preparation of students and research in areas related to the promotion of well-being, positive development, and healthy relationships in a variety of contexts, including family, school, and workplace. We offer diverse programs that encompass health promotion, human services, and human sciences. There is a focus on global awareness, and graduates are culturally competent and develop ethical foundations to maintain integrity in their academics and professions and to simultaneously inspire others.
