Marquette University’s Counselor Education and Counseling Psychology Department is built on the Jesuit principle of cura personalis, or “care for the whole person.” Through diverse course work and meaningful clinical placements, our counseling programs shape graduates into providers who transform lives by supporting people in their holistic growth and wellness.

Our expert faculty are committed to our students’ development and to providing high-quality learning that emphasizes thorough preparation and training for counseling and professional psychology careers. Our students, in turn, receive training and experience in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention skills necessary to deliver comprehensive counseling services to all. Our graduates are critically aware of the cultural contexts of their approaches, seek opportunities to serve the underserved and do what it takes to Be The Difference. Our Commitment to Diversity is the foundation of our training programs.
