| 520 | 3 | |a This book is intended to assist current graduate students; those interested in a graduate degree in the fields of counseling and psychology and those who have graduated from a graduate program in counseling and psychology gain the information necessary to choose the appropriate career path. Graduate schools offer academic training in a variety of counseling and psychology disciplines, such as: counseling psychology, school psychology, mental health counseling, school counseling and etc. At the graduate level it is most expedient for students to choose a discipline at the beginning of their program. Delays and changes after the first or second semester can prove to be very costly and time consuming. Most graduate programs offer open houses and information sessions, provide information about their degree offerings through their website and provide faculty advisement to students interested in pursuing careers in counseling and psychology. Unfortunately, these informational opportunities do not prevent students from making changes and preparing for professions that don't really suit their professional goals, personalities or life styles. Most students enter the field of counseling and psychology with great enthusiasm, conviction and direction, some students enter unsure of what opportunities will be available upon graduation. Some students who do choose a career are unaware of the licensure requirements, roles and responsibilities, and specific training needed for that career. In search for a guide to assist students in gaining the knowledge they need about opportunities after graduation, there were very few resource guides found. Many books discuss best practices in certain fields, professional development in certain areas and licensure and certification requirements in response to current legislation, but few provide enough information on career options after completing graduate studies in counseling and psychology. | |
