When you pursue a doctor of philosophy (PhD) in counseling psychology, you’ll be trained to work in a variety of settings and have a strong understanding of the integration of theory, research, and intervention strategies.

You’ll have the option of completing one 24-hour cognate in psychology or two 15-hour cognates, with one of the cognates in psychology. Ball State’s doctoral program, which is highly selective and accepts only 10 students each year, is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA).

You’ll learn from the best, and you’ll benefit from working side-by-side with licensed psychologists helping area residents at our Counseling Practicum Clinic. Our nationally acclaimed Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services is part of Ball State’s prestigious Teachers College
