In recognition of our program?s quality, the U.S. Department of Education recently awarded UNC a five-year, $938,705 federal grant to train rehabilitation counselors at the master?s level.

As a student in this master?s program, you'll take part in a supervised practicum in our Rehabilitation Counseling Clinic, where you'll get actual experience counseling clients under observation and supervision. In addition, you will complete 600 clock hours of internship, including 240 hours in direct service to people with disabilities. Rehabilitation counselors make a real difference in the lives of people with disabilities, and UNC graduates stand out in the field. In recent years, 93 percent of our graduates have passed the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) exam, and 100 percent have found employment in their field.
