This program focuses on the normal adaptation of individuals to their environment and with helping others cope with crises, problems of daily living and mental challenges. Traditionally, counseling psychology has been concerned with the preventative aspects of mental health and an emphasis on client strengths. The counseling psychology program at UNT is committed to the idea that human problems are the result of complex interaction of environmental factors and developmental changes in the person. The program provides professional training within the broad context of the scientist-practitioner model. This program requires a minimum of 106 semester hours plus a one-year internship and includes 20 hours in general core psychology: social psychology, quantitative methods, theories of cognition and affect, history and systems, and physiological psychology. All psychology doctoral degree plans require a minimum of 42 hours of graduate credit beyond the masterâ€™s degree, or 72 credits beyond the bachelorâ€™s degree, taken within the UNT system.
