Welcome to the Department of Educational Leadership & Counseling Psychology. Our faculty include some of the most outstanding scholars in their fields—which range from sports law to multicultural counseling—and many hold national and international leadership positions in their professional organizations. Research and scholarship are critical components of the department, and our students have many opportunities to collaborate with faculty in ongoing research.
Our mission is to address the needs of communities, individuals, and educational institutions in a diverse society through leadership, scholarship, collaboration, and professional practice.
We offer both undergraduate and graduate programs, some of which are delivered at more than one of our four campuses. Our undergraduate programs include athletic training (which is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education), movement studies, sport management, and health and fitness teacher certification. Graduate programs include counseling, counseling psychology (accredited by the American Psychological Association), educational leadership, educational psychology, and higher education. Our doctoral program in educational leadership was the first statewide doctorate offered at WSU, and is a cohort-based program designed to meet the needs of school administrators across the state of Washington.
In addition to our degree programs, we offer field-based superintendent and principal certification programs.
Our faculty are eager to assist you with questions about future possibilities at WSU. I invite you to explore our site further and welcome the opportunity to visit with you in Pullman or to help you arrange a visit at one of our other campuses.
