Using current professional standards, the Counseling Academic Unit in Corvallis at Oregon State University prepares professional counselors and counselor educators who promote the holistic wellness of individuals, families, communities, and organizations. These counselors and counselor educators are prepared to be change agents who are competent, ethical, and proactive in the face of injustice. We prepare counselors in antiracist practices to dismantle racism invariably tethered to other forms of oppression, such as genderism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, and ableism. They are lifelong learners whose work is informed by lifespan development, theory- and evidence-based practices, and a local and global perspective. Their work as counselors, supervisors, educators, researchers, and advocates demonstrates multicultural and diversity competence and a commitment to social justice.

There are multiple options for the College of Education Counseling program:

The Counseling major is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).
