“It was the ideal graduate school experience — academically and professionally.” –
Myra Terry, M.A. ‘12 Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission Salem, MA
“Academically, the program offers a supportive atmosphere focused on the student’s growth as a practicing counselor. Faculty members possess decades of hands-on clinical expertise that I benefited from greatly. Through the internship program, I gained direct experience working in vocational rehabilitation, having one-on-one exposure to individuals with various disabilities. I had the opportunity to review medical records, understand functional capacities of disabling conditions, and determine services needed. “Professionally, I feel well prepared to succeed in the field, assisting individuals with disabilities in gaining meaningful employment.”
