Counseling Courses

The Guidance program is an integral part of the counseling services.  Courses are offered in the traditional classroom format or as Online Guidance Courses. Students who take guidance skills courses will learn to:

Acquire, organize and demonstrate problem-solving and decision-making skills; explore, evaluate and pursue career and educational options; develop social, intellectual and emotional competencies; develop needed skills and strategies to maximize the educational experience; understand themselves, others and their environment in order that they may develop individual value systems and life styles.
