Overview
The College Student Development and Counseling Program at Northeastern University aims to create mindful, action-oriented leaders, specifically in the field of higher education and student affairs. It is the goal of the program to focus on counseling, college student development, the history and philosophy of the student affairs profession, and the organization and administration of the field. The program will provide emerging professionals with the academic and experiential background that will allow them to be able to design, create, and administer student personnel programs that teach leadership, foster development, value diversity, and compliment the academic experience of college students.

Curriculum
The curriculum subscribed for the College Student Development and Counseling program is typically established for completion in four semesters or two years.  Students who wish to take one or two courses per semester may do so by initially enrolling as with a special student status and will proceed to gain admission later on.

All students are required to take CAP G300: Introduction to College Student Development during their first semester of enrollment concurrently with CAP G200: Counseling Theory & Process.

Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Psychology, Education & the Community (CAGS) curriculum.

Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is a hallmark of Northeastern University and its educational mission.  As such, the College Student Development and Counseling program provides students with field opportunities that will prepare new professionals for working in entry level and beginning management positions in the college student development field. These positions are offered in departments and offices, which may not directly address the academic concerns of students, but are a vital part of the social, emotional, and moral development of student.

Faculty
Faculty members who teach in the College Student Development and Counseling program hail from numerous local institutions with an impressive range of professional experience in the area of student affairs and student development.  The wealth of perspective brought to the classroom by our instructors enriches the student experience because they are current practitioners who are regularly engaging students in the daily application of the course material prescribed by the CSDC graduate program.
