Counseling programs at Lehigh University provide students with a thorough background in human behavior and in the counselor's role in contemporary American society, as well as fundamental counseling and intervention skills. Three major tenets underlie all counseling programs:

• The program is essentially educative/preventive/developmental in nature.
  
• Counselors must work in an increasingly diverse cultural environment.
• Counselors must understand and be prepared to adapt to changing societal conditions and the demands placed upon communities and school systems.
