�ǿ����޴�ý is excited to announce its new Ph.D. program in Counselor Education and Supervision (CES).

The program prepares graduates to work as counselor educators, supervisors, researchers, and practitioners in academic and clinical settings with professional excellence and from a contextualized biblical worldview.

The program’s director, Dr. Seth Scott, says CIU is building on its niche of effective faith integration and professional excellence in its clinical counseling master’s program.

“The Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision strategically targets a critical need to develop solid Christian counselor educators in shaping the direction of the field of counseling,” Scott said. “CIU joins a very small collection of evangelical Christian schools providing this degree, which is the primary degree and training credential required of faculty in master’s-level counseling programs around the country.” ��

Persons graduating with this doctoral degree will be fully equipped to fulfill God’s purposes as ambassadors of the gospel to burgeoning faith-based and secular graduate counseling programs around the world.

“With a limited pool of credentialed faculty and the additional need for counselor educators who can effectively and comprehensively train counselors through an integrated biblical worldview, this program assists in filling a growing gap and impacts the counseling field for Christ,” Scott said. ��

CIU is unique with its intentionally multi-denominational foundation and deliberate mission focus, providing the only online Ph.D. in CES from a biblical worldview south of Virginia and east of Kentucky.��
