Doctoral Studies

In recent years, there has been a rising need for trained and competent specialists to meet the demands of the professional, ethical, legal, multicultural and supervisory aspects of the counseling field.

Blending theory, practice and personal growth and development, professionals must continuously strive to be leaders while meeting the complex needs and challenges of a rapidly changing society.

The executive doctoral program in Counselor Education and Supervision (ExCES) at Duquesne University is designed for experienced counselors who are interested in enhancing their professional capabilities while maintaining their full or part time jobs.

ExCES is constructed to support development in three broad curriculum areas:

• Teaching and Supervision
• Research
• Clinical Practice and Service

Graduates of the program will be well-prepared to pursue or move forward in a career in scholarly research, supervision and teaching at the university level or work as a supervisor of other professional counselors.

The program emphasizes a student - faculty collaboration that also serves as an ongoing mentoring process. Because of the teaching and supervisory responsibilities in the program, each doctoral student will earn the rank of lecturer (part-time faculty) in the Counselor Education Program and earn the current stipend.

In addition, each doctoral student will participate as a member of a cohort throughout the program.
