School Counseling Program
Butler University has been preparing professional school
counselors for more than five decades and program graduates are
employed in almost every district in the greater Indianapolis area
as well as throughout the state and country. Faculty are active in
the profession at the state and national level, which has led to a
nationally known reputation. The program initially became
CACREP (Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related
Educational Programs) accredited in 1998 and continues to meet
national standards including those by the American School
Counseling Association. The program is experiential and
emphasizes a theory to practice learning environment. New
clinical space with state of the art technology enhances the
supervision process and maximizes learning opportunities.
Our program has partnerships with a local non-profit
organization to assist grieving children and a local high-risk
inner city school. Our counselor education faculty is committed to
respecting diversity and similarity within ourselves, our graduate
students, and the K-12 students our graduates are being prepared to
serve. We encourage, promote, and respect diversity in the
counselor education curriculum and in the knowledge, skills and
attitudes expected of our graduate students and alumni.
