Beginning Summer 2025, the College Student Personnel program will be part of the newly formed Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Organizational Development
The Doctor of Philosophy program in Counseling and Personnel Services (CPS) with a specialization in College Student Personnel (CSP) requires a minimum of 93 semester hours beyond the bachelor's degree and is organized in four areas: professional specialty, research and statistics, counseling and foundations, core and internship.
Each student's program is specifically designed to include previous graduate coursework and research interests. Credit hours from an approved CSP or related program may be used to fulfill a portion of the 93 hours. Students with master's degrees in an unrelated field must complete the prerequisite coursework in the CSP program while enrolled as doctoral students.
