What People are Saying

Faculty:

"I am delighted to be part of the Counseling Psychology Program at Eastern University because of its diversity, Christian atmosphere, and passion for excellence.

All these characteristics contribute to quality research and professional development in this program."

Students:

"As I enter my last year of study in the master's level Counseling Psychology program at Eastern University, I am excited about my future as a professional, and so thankful that I made the choice to come here. The learning environment has been supportive and challenging; and I am eager to follow my passion out into the world. The skills that I have gained through interacting with faculty and students in this community will provide a solid foundation to make an impact in the greater population."
Randi Wright, MA Intern

"Before coming to Eastern, I had been employed for eight years at a job that left me feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. By coming to Eastern I was hoping to find satisfaction and happiness in a career where I could make a difference in people's lives and start living up to my fullest potential. Eastern's Counseling program has been the best fit for what I want to accomplish. I am still a student at Eastern and every day I am able to take the knowledge from my classes and apply it to my personal life. Not only am I learning how to be a great guidance counselor, but the skills I have been taught are helping me to be a better mom, wife, daughter, sister and friend."
Beth Collins, Student in the School Counseling program

"Not only did Eastern University's Department of Counseling Psychology equip me with superior skills and a cutting edge clinical education, but I also left the program and entered the professional world with confidence. I am in private practice and am able to go toe-to-toe with psychiatrists and others from the medical field when one of my clients is hospitalized, because of the training I received within the professional environment at Eastern University."
Paula Padget Baylor, MA, NCP, LPC

"I am amazed by the intellectual and professional growth that I have experienced at Eastern through the careful tutelage of professors who make a real impact on the lives of their students. I applaud the program's commitment to push its students to become ambassadors of social change in our urban communities and the world at large."
Darnell L. Moore

Employers:

"I know of no other clinical courses that give students such careful individual attention as your students get. The practicum as a prerequisite to internship also distinguishes Eastern from other master's degree programs in the Philadelphia area."
