A new ranking from www.topcounselingschools.org placed Delta State’s master’s counseling program as the top value in Mississippi.
The ranking was created using the online directory of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs to find the accredited counseling programs across the state. TCS ranked the schools based on their program completion rate, job placement rate, licensing exam pass rate, accreditation length, research productivity, and tuition and fees.
According to TCS, Delta State was worthy of the top spot based on the university’s unbeatable tuition rates. Additionally, superior student performance was highlighted, with the most recent round of data showing DSU students passing the national licensing exam and landing jobs with 100 percent success rates.
Small class sizes and a friendly environment have led some industry professionals to label the program “a little jewel among counseling education programs,” the ranking stated.
Also mentioned was the annual F.E. Woodall Spring Conference for Helping Professions, which offers experiential workshops, information sessions and networking opportunities.
Top Counseling Schools’ purpose is to contribute to the academic mission of higher learning institutions by providing pertinent and objective information that counseling students and professionals find relevant to the field of counseling.
