Counseling Degree Programs

The field of counseling has come a long way from the “mommy issues” and “dream interpretations” of Sigmund Freud’s days. A hundred years ago, counseling degree program options were limited to say the least. As the epicenter of psychoanalytic counseling, Vienna was an obvious choice, but the United States was barely starting to consider psychology as a field of science. Today, aspiring counselors have a world of locations and counseling degrees to choose from. If you’re looking to get a degree that offers both challenging and rewarding opportunities to learn and help people throughout your career, a counseling degree is definitely an option worth exploring.

The MAIS program at DCU offers a broad, interdisciplinary study of all things intercultural. Many of the core courses are theory based. You have a choice of electives in departments ranging from Film Studies and Literature to Politics and Linguistics. At times, because of the nature of this interdisciplinary field, the course requirements feel scattered and not the most cohesive. The final semester is spent honing in on your research topic and brainstorming with your thesis advisor, before resea...

Why Earn Your Counseling Degree Abroad

As a counselor, a large part of your job will involve learning to empathize with and help your clients. Earning your degree in counseling abroad will give you the chance to experience a new culture and practice your empathy skills whether you are inside the classroom or not. Nothing will challenge your own assumptions about how to help others more than learning how life is in another part of the world.

By choosing to earn your counseling degree abroad, you’ll also open yourself up to career opportunities abroad that you might not otherwise have the experience to qualify for. The reality of being a counselor is that the location in which you receive your degree can have major bearing on your career prospects, so consider your locations carefully. You will likely end up working in the country you study in, as bringing skills back home does not always work out easily.

In the same way, travel opens your eyes to understanding others and the world, so earning your counseling degree abroad will do the same. Choose a location and school that will help you learn counseling skills and develop a career, then your degree in counseling will surely give you fulfillment throughout your life and with each client you encounter.
