Resolution for degree change to Master of Arts in Counseling in Higher Education

Whereas the current program for the Master of Education in College Counseling and Student Affairs Practice in Higher Education has been administered in the Department of Individual and Family Studies since 1998, and

Whereas the curriculum and other degree requirements will remain the same under the proposed new degree of Master of Arts and proposed re-titled major of Counseling in Higher Education, and

Whereas the proposed new degree title and new major title will provide more clarity and consistency between the curriculum content and degree awarded, and

Whereas the Department of Individual and Family Studies, the School of Education, and the College of Human Services, Education and Public Policy all support the proposed change in degree and change in the title of the major, be it therefore

Resolved that the current Master of Education in College Counseling and Student Affairs Practice in Higher Education be changed to Master of Arts in Counseling in Higher Education.
