The Higher Education Counseling & Student Affairs concentration prepares graduates to enter the dynamic world of student affairs and higher education in a pluralistic society. Counselors in higher education settings can contribute to the academic, social and emotional growth of students across campus through many different roles. <br>Our students gain an understanding of human development that informs their interventions for both students who are emerging adults or non-traditional students. We also provide students with the awareness, knowledge, and skills for understanding dynamics of multiculturalism to work with administrative systems, small groups, and individuals to foster an environment that embraces diversity. Students will gain skills in both prevention and intervention to reach the vast number of students on a college campus. They will examine their role as a consultant and evaluator of services. While studying at UT, our students have employment and practicum placements at UT. Historically our students do practicum in other colleges in the metropolitan area including Austin Community College, St. Edward's University, Texas State University, and Huston-Tillotson University.
