Advising
The Master of Rehabilitation Counseling (MRC) is a graduate
degree offered through the Division of Professional Studies.
It is a 48 semester-hours program.
This 48-unit sequence of study seeks scholars/practitioners
who will devote a minimum of two years of graduate study to develop
a mastery of knowledge and skill areas identified by the Council on
Rehabilitation Education (CORE) as requisite competencies for
rehabilitation counselors. The
program strives to mold scholars/practitioners who apply their
studies to guide practice. Students
who successfully complete the coursework are eligible to apply for
national certification as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor
(through the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification).
Time
of Study
The
master's program is a 48-credit hour program and typically takes two
years of full-time study to complete. The
requirements for the master’s degree must be completed within a
period of six years starting with the first course (excluding
leveling courses) counted toward the master’s degree unless the
Program Coordinator of the Graduate Program grants an extension of the
time limit.
Course
Load
A graduate student is allowed a maximum semester load of 15
semester hours and summer load of 9 semester hours unless the Dean/Director of
the Graduate Program approves an overload.
Transfer
of Coursework from other colleges
The entire program of any graduate degree is normally
completed in residence at Wilberforce University. However, upon
approval of the Dean/Director and Graduate Commission of the
Graduate Program, up to 6 hours of graduate transfer work may be
applied toward the 48-hour master’s degree program.
