The Lehigh University CP faculty feels strongly about the kind of program we aspire to become, and the kind of student we hope to admit and graduate.

Lehigh University's Counseling Psychology Program endeavors to

• Train students to become effective counseling psychologists who demonstrate the clinical awareness, knowledge, and skills necessary to deliver mental health services to multicultural client populations in various settings.
  
• Encourage student development with respect to issues such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality and provide educational opportunities for students to further their professional development with respect to these issues.
• Produce students who can readily counsel individuals or groups from diverse backgrounds within the context of the client's culture.

The counselor training to which students are exposed adheres to a scientist-practitioner model which presumes skillful and professional practice that is by sound principles and models of psychological science.
