Our Mission

It is the mission of the Department of Counseling at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, working together in partnerships with schools, community agencies, and university colleagues, to produce exemplary School Counselors and Clinical Mental Health Counselors who demonstrate personal growth and knowledge, academic excellence, and professional competence. Through an experiential, contextual, and systemic curriculum, and by integrating theory, research, practice, and leadership, the faculty promotes scholarly inquiry, ethical practice, respect for diversity, and a strong professional identity in our students as we prepare the next generation of Counselors.
