About the course

By studying clinical counseling at Illinois Tech, you'll gain the skills needed to serve individuals with a diverse array of mental health or disability-related problems impacting the individual and the family in a variety of clinical settings and with respect for the influences of multicultural factors such as culture, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. Students also receive training in the vocational, educational, and personal adjustment of individuals with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. Students are provided a comprehensive education in principles of both clinical rehabilitation and clinical mental health counseling, and then choose a specialization in one of these two areas through their internship experience.
