Rehabilitation Counseling

Accredited by the Council on Rehabilitation Education, Inc

The University of Tennessee graduate program in Rehabilitation Counseling (RC) is designed to prepare students for professional careers as clinicians in the field of rehabilitation counseling.  The RC Program is service-oriented and includes practica and internship experiences. Completion of the 48-hour Program culminates in a Master of Science Degree. The Program is accredited by the Council on Rehabilitation Education Inc. (CORE). 

Students may be admitted to the Program either full- or part-time. Full-time students admitted to the Program follow a sequence of courses that facilitates degree completion in 16 months. The first (fall) and third (summer) semesters are didactic in nature, but the second semester adds an experiential component under RC 547 Practicum in Rehabilitation. The final (fall 2) semester is experiential, with students working full-time to fulfill the requirements of RC 549 Internship in Rehabilitation Counseling. 

The RC Program curriculum is a dynamic response to Rehabilitation Services Association (RSA) and State Agency programmatic initiatives and recommendations by graduates, the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) and employers of graduates. Consequently, each course is revised every year based on input from students, faculty, graduates, intern supervisors, CORE, employers of graduates, consumer groups, consumers and RSA programmatic initiatives.
