I am so pleased that you’ve chosen to consider our School Counseling Program at the University of Saint Joseph! Let me tell you a little about our program.
First, this is a truly exceptional place to learn to be a counselor.
- At USJ, we take pride in offering personalized education that fosters a sense of connection both with faculty and with fellow students.
- Featuring faculty who have themselves, worked as counselors in school settings, we weave practical experience at elementary, middle, and high school levels into our lectures and classrooms to bring learning to life.
- Consistent with our school mission, our program values service, advocacy and social justice, and offers rich opportunities for meaningful field practice via a wonderful collaborative relationship with a Hartford school.
- We value our professional associations and encourage our students to contribute posters and presentations to state conference venues. We often attend statewide conferences in large groups.
The school counselor master’s program offers preparation for a meaningful role that has potential to positively impact the lives of countless children.
I hope you’ll contact us to make arrangements to move forward in your application process.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Kathleen Marie Barrett
