The Masters of Education in Counseling program prepares students for careers as a professional counselor. Many of our students will pursue a national licensure to become a licensed professional counselor (LPC) post-graduation. The program’s faculty is dedicated to providing graduates a deep understanding of counseling knowledge, skills and techniques. Graduates will gain an understanding and awareness of the role and influence professional counselors plays in our communities. At the University of Houston, we prepare graduates to providing services for a diverse and ever-changing population, while preparing them for the future of our technology driven society and profession. As our program moves toward national accreditation we value a rich education experience that lays the foundation for professional and personal enrichment. We now conveniently offered a variety of face-to-face, hybrid and online courses that are offered at the UH Main campus and Sugar Land campus.
