Welcome to the Counselor Education program at Augusta State University. The program is designed to train professional counselors at the graduate level in the specializations of School Counseling and Community Counseling.
CACREP ACCREDITATION
The Augusta State University Counselor Education Program is accredited
by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related

program and the school counseling program meet their respective

meet the exacting CACREP standards, and the faculty is extremely proud
of the significant achievement.
