ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND
TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR
MATRICULATION AND GRADUATION
All students are expected to uphold personal and
professional ethical standards and practices both inside
and outside of the classroom. Adherence to such personal
and professional ethical standards is an intrinsic
and essential component of the professional standards
of the counseling field. All students must adhere to the
“Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice” of the
American Counseling Association.
Professional liability insurance coverage is required
during enrollment in the clinical components of the
Counseling Program.
The Counseling Program faculty has a responsibility
to society and to the profession to matriculate and
graduate the best possible counseling professionals.
Therefore, the technical standards which follow are
required for matriculation and graduation from the
Counseling Program:
— The student must be able to participate in oral demonstrations,
presentations, and role-plays of counseling
situations and be videotaped for the purposes
of developing skills and receiving feedback.
— Because counseling professionals must be able to
respond immediately in counseling and crisis situations,
the student must be able to participate in roleplays
or other practice simulations as a counselor
without advance knowledge of the scenario or preparation
of the role-play.
— The student must be able to conduct a counseling
session with real clients under live or videotaped
supervision.
— The student must be able to communicate and interact
respectfully and sensitively with clients.
— The student must be able to communicate effectively
in oral and in written form with all referral sources,
e.g. court and community agencies.
— The student must be able to communicate effectively
in oral and in written form with all members of a
mental health care team.
— The student must possess the emotional and mental
health needed for the full use of one’s intellect, perception,
and sound judgment. Such emotional and
mental health is required for the efficient completion
of all responsibilities related to the diagnosis, treatment,
and referral of clients and to the communication
with others in the mental health care network.
The faculty in the Counseling Program reserves the
right to recommend entry into personal counseling or
psychotherapy for assessment and/or treatment as a
condition of continuation in the Counseling Program.
Graduation from the program is recommended when
students are determined by the School of Education to
be personally, academically, and clinically ready for
entry into the counseling profession.
STUDENT COUNSELING ORGANIZATIONS
The Barry University Counseling Program sponsors
and supports two student counseling organizations. The
Barry University Counseling Association (BUCA) is a
professional student and alumni association offering educational
and social experiences. The Beta Upsilon chapter
of Chi Sigma Iota is an award-winning international
honor society of counseling professionals dedicated to
excellence in scholarship, research, and clinical practice.
Specialist in Education in
Counseling
The Educational Specialist degree in Counseling requires
30 to 66 semester hours of study. The exact number
of semester hours required for the degree is determined
by the development of a plan of study with the Program
Advisor at the time of admission. Failure to complete a
plan of study may necessitate taking the maximum number
of credits required for receipt of the degree.
