Counselor Education and Supervision (CES) Ph.D. Program:The mission of the CES Ph. D. Program at Kent State University is to prepare research-informed and ethically sound counselor educators who conduct research, supervise, teach, provide leadership, and have a strong professional counselor identity. The CES Ph.D. Program also facilitates their advancement as clinicians.

Also, if students have not previously completed the required coursework set forth by the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board for Professional Counselor licensure, they will complete such coursework as part of their CES doctoral program.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DIVERSITY: The Counselor Education and Supervision program at Kent State University has diversity as a core value and diversity is integrated throughout the curriculum. As a student in the program, you will be expected to work with and affirm fellow students and clients who may be sexual minorities, who are of different races, ethnicities and religions, who come from varying socio-economic statuses, and who represent other forms of diversity. The experience will challenge you and you will need to be open to new ways of encountering people. The program faculty, staff, and supervisors will be there for support in this journey. By signing this prospectus you are embracing this approach to diversity as the core of your professional identity.

CES PhD CURRICULUM

REQUIRED RESEARCH COURSES

NOTE: If advisors approve the waiver of a course, due to the student’s completion of a related course, another advisor-approved course must be substituted for the waived course.

NOTE: Doctoral students must complete all of their coursework at the 70000 or 80000 level. Courses below the 70000 level do not meet the doctoral program requirements.

Students must take EVAL 75510, EVAL 85515, EVAL 85516, and CES 80199. Students must also take EVAL 85517 OR 85518.

* Students need to be registered for two semesters at 15 hours each of CES 80199: Dissertation I. Thereafter, students need to be registered for 15 hours of CES 80299: Dissertation II each semester (including summer) through graduation. Students will be expected to be familiar with data entry and interpreting computer generated analyses.

REQUIRED CES COURSES

ADDITIONAL COURSES REQUIRED RELATIVE TO MAJOR AREA OF STUDY

Students will also have 9 additional hours of CES specialization and 6 hours of elective coursework, for a total 15 hours of electives. In designing these 15 hours, students will consult with their advisors about registering for additional courses (e.g., CES 77584 Writing for Professional Publication) andconsider courses in research design (e.g., EVAL 78713 Multivariate Analysis In Educational Research; EVAL 78714 Factor Analysis In Educational Research; EVAL 78716 Educational Statistics II; EVAL 78728 Educational Statistics III;CES 70093 Q Methodology In Assessment And Research; and specialty EVAL courses such as Grounded Theory and Phenomenology). Also see note 4.

CURRICULAR NOTES

• Note 1: KSU master’s students in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program are required to take CES 68128: Clinical Assessment in Counseling (formerly titled Individual Appraisal in Counseling). This course is also a requirement of the CES doctoral program and contains both Clinical Mental Health Counseling CACREP standards and doctoral level CACREP standards. At the master’s level, students do not have to complete assignments pertaining to the doctoral level CACREP standards. In cases where master’s graduates are admitted to the CES doctoral program, they can “make up” doctoral level CACREP standards via independent study per advisor approval (e.g., one credit individual investigation in the elective category titled “Additional Courses Required Relative to Major Area of Study”). In the above example, the requirement for CES 78128: Clinical Assessment in Counseling may then be waived,though for any waived course, another course must be substituted for it.

• Note 2: The total number of clinical hours accrued during CES 87571 or CES 78536 must total a minimum of 100 total hours, including a minimum of 40 hours of direct service to clients

• Note 3: Before starting CES 88292: Internship in CES students must have no more than nine (9) hours of coursework remaining, which could include only the following: advisor approved electives; independent investigations; advanced EVAL coursework (e.g., EVAL 85517 or EVAL 85518); and/or CES 88281: Research Seminar in CES. Students must submit a written internship plan for advisor approval by the deadlines stated in the CES Doctoral Internship Manual.

• Note 4: Any changes a student wants to make to coursework (including specialization / elective coursework) must be approved by the student’s advisors BEFORE the change is made.
