Graduate programs in the Department of Counseling and Applied Educational Psychology reflect Northeastern University’s tradition of practice-oriented education with an ecological and multicultural focus. Faculty and students come from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, providing an enriching learning experience.

The Bouvé College of Health Sciences emphasizes experiential and field-based learning, interdisciplinary and global knowledge, and integration of science and practice. Students are well-prepared to become counseling and psychology professionals in a variety of educational, governmental, community, organizational, and private settings.

Beginning Fall 2009, we offer two new Ph.D. programs in counseling psychology and school psychology, respectively. These programs provide excellent educational opportunities for those interested in professional psychology with specialized training for future careers in academic or practice positions as licensed psychologists.  As a Bouvé student, you will acquire knowledge and competency needed for a lifetime of personal fulfillment and professional achievement.
