The Counselor Education program offers master's degree specializations in School Counseling (K-12 licensure in Indiana) as well as Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and takes a systemic, process-oriented approach to counselor training in both school and community settings. The program has a small group of dedicated faculty members who prioritize a commitment to multiculturalism and social justice, the development of competent and compassionate counselors, as well as maintenance of a collegial work environment based on respect and shared responsibility for programmatic success.
The Counselor Education program also operates the PFW Community Counseling Center, a training clinic that offers free mental health services to the community. All practicum students engage in two or more semesters of faculty-led, live supervision prior to community-based internships. PFW is a campus of Purdue University and is located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the second-largest metropolitan area in Indiana. It is a thriving community located only two hours from Indianapolis and three hours from Chicago. Fort Wayne has been rated by Niche.com as the #1 city with the lowest cost of living in America for 2022.

The successful candidate will teach courses in the Counselor Education Program (in-person with occasional hybrid opportunities), provide clinical supervision, advise students, maintain an active research agenda resulting in publication, and provide service to the university, community, and profession.
