As a student at Bowie State University, you will diversify the field of mental health counseling and establish yourself as a subject matter expert that counseling professionals will depend on for advancement.

With a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision, you will examine how marginalized groups, particularly people of African descent, are treated within the context of their community and learn to identify its effect on mental health. You will consider the impact of culture in every theory, intervention, and technique to relate this viewpoint as an educator. You will learn to address your questions through research, share your discoveries through teaching, and apply your knowledge in practice.
