"This is a great program for anyone who is interested in a career in mental health, therapy, or counseling, and especially for someone who is interested in going into a Doctoral Program and would like to use this as a stepping stone towards that."

"I will say that, thanks to this Master’s Program, a lot of doors opened. I have, now, a lot of opportunities and job offers, and I’m sure that if you take this program, you will also have all the opportunities that I have now."

"This program is intended for a variety of students with a variety of professional interests. Students who are interested in obtaining a Master’s degree, who are already in the K-12 education system, who are working as teachers, but hope to learn to include restorative-justice practices in their classroom, or teachers who want to learn to be more trauma informed in their practices with students."

"This is for students who are working full time, and they already have the experience with counseling. This program is for students that, they just need that extra degree in order to advance in their career, in their current career."

"One of the things that makes our program so unique is that we’re a hybrid-online program, so students can expect to join a program that is flexible and might meet their needs. Most of our students are working professionals. But I think, overall, what students can expect is to encounter a really caring and engaged group of faculty. We’re really passionate about what we do, and we love what we do."

"Many of our students will come from a position where they’re working already at a university or community college setting, and they would like to further develop that career path. And, so, getting this Master’s degree helps prepare them for that promotion.

What I am most proud of our students is making the choice to take themselves to that next level. Because it might not always be something that you thought of as a possibility for yourself. But when you can actualize that as a real possibility for yourself, that is something to be very proud of."

"Many of the students that join our program are working or will be working in very demanding environments. And our hope is that we’re enabling the development of their skills to be able to respond in culturally competent, culturally responsive, and in ways that demonstrate cultural humility."

"We have the best professors for this program, that they are very helpful, and that they’re always there to help. If you have any questions and you send an email to one of them, they will reply right away. And, also, that I am very grateful, because they are extremely professional."

"We are hoping to invite students to consider their own lives, their own lived experiences, alongside the academic research and literature and to try to make sense of their lives and to develop some preferred ways of working interculturally. They will be out in the communities as counselors, as educators, as mental health professionals.

I think that if students knew how much, as faculty, we’ve considered them and thought about them, and if they only knew how hard we worked to be the best that we could be, to enable their development, I think that students would be surprised to know that, so I want students to know that."
