Doctor of Philosophy in Education - Counseling

Old Dominion University

Students who are admitted to the Ph.D. program in Counseling must have a master's degree from a program accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Program (CACREP) or the equivalent. Admitted individuals who do not have a CACREP-accredited master's degree in counseling must complete any missing masters level coursework as part of their doctoral program of study as a part of their Ph.D. program. Upon reviewing application materials, counseling faculty will make a decision on each applicants potential for success and fit for the doctoral program. Then, selected applicants will be invited to participate in the following processes: Ethical Dilemma Writing Sample: Each individual applicant will be given an hour to respond to an ethical dilemma at a designated day and time. Live Interview: Applicants will attend a 30-minute online interview with faculty members and have an opportunity to interact with current doctoral students.
