The graduate certificate in Counseling and Life Transitions equips students with a range of skills that can be used to assist the community in coping with the different transitions that may occur in their lives. Students may choose to focus in one of three concentrations: Counseling Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Persons, Grief, Loss and Life Transition, and Career and Workforce Development.
Counseling Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Persons: This certificate expands the skills of counselors, teachers, and other professionals to better understand cultural and linguistic diversity within the workplace, school, and community settings and, in the process, enhance their understanding of their own psycho-social identity.
Grief, Loss and Life Transition: This certificate prepares counselors with the knowledge to effectively and compassionately counsel the chronically ill, dying, their caregivers, bereaved loved ones, or to work with others facing difficult life transitions such as unemployment. This specialized program is ideal for counselors, social workers, clergy, and other professionals who work with those facing loss and life transitions.
Career and Workforce Development: This certificate prepares career practitioners to assist students, workers, employers, and retirees navigate the challenges that are inherent in a global workplace.
