Overview of Mission: The Counseling Psychology doctoral program at Boston College seeks to prepare the next generation of leaders in psychology, generally, and counseling psychology, specifically. We use a scientist-practitioner training model emphasizing a developmental-contextual perspective with a commitment to social justice, multicultural education, and community-based practice.

The doctoral program prepares students for positions as counseling psychologists, who use their scientific and clinical skills in an array of settings encompassing mental health organizations, educational institutions, academia, public policy agencies, and various other occupational and community contexts.

The Doctoral program (Ph.D.) in Counseling Psychology is accredited by the American Psychological Association (Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation, 750 First Street, NE , Washington , DC 20002; 202-336-5979).
