M.Ed. International Counseling
The Master’s program in International Counseling at Lehigh University prepares students to function in professional roles that include three key targets of the international settings: the school, the community, and the family. The specific goals of this program are to:
- Produce counselors who can conceptualize and intervene in preventative, developmental, and culturally therapeutic ways.
- Appreciate the diversity of family life and schooling international communities and understand how the third culture experience abroad impinges differently on the daily lives of transition faced by children and families.
- Appreciate and embrace the scientific and empirical underpinnings of the counseling field and work to apply them in culturally appropriate ways.
Although the program emphasizes counseling, students will be expected to be familiar with all three targets areas of intervention. A successful graduate may be employed as a counselor in a variety of settings such as elementary, middle or secondary, high schools, community mental health agencies or hospitals.
