The CHDS doctoral program works with students who desire to have the professional identity of counselors. As part of the effort to acculturate students to professional behavior, students are reviewed at least once a year to evaluate their progress in the development of a professional identity. Students are reviewed along the following dimensions: (1) potential success in forming effective interpersonal relationships; (2) aptitude for graduate study including technological competences and computer literacy; (3) career goals in relationship to the program; (4) openness to self-examination; and (5) openness to personal and professional development. If faculty believe a student is experiencing difficulty on any of these dimensions, a meeting may be scheduled with the student and advisor or co-advisors to discuss ways of responding to concern(s) or to possibly consider the appropriateness of the student for the CHDS doctoral program.
