Welcome to Counseling Psychology

About Our Counseling Psychology Graduate Program
This is an exciting time to be at Purdue, as the University and the Counseling Psychology (CPSY) program have grown considerably the past few years. Purdue University ranks among the 15 largest and most prestigious universities in the nation, among the top 50 (i.e. 22nd) internationally, and among the top three public universities with a high international student enrollment. Currently, the CPSY program, which is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association, has four core faculty and 37 full-time doctoral students. In 2006, the program hosted the 19th Annual Great Lakes Regional Counseling Psychology Conference on campus and, in 2012, it will host the 25th annual conference.

Our Faculty
The four core faculty members have interesting and diverse research and applied interests. Even so, a common thread runs through their respective research programs, namely, "college students." College student development, adjustment, and well-being is a unifying theme and distinguishing focus of the CPSY program at Purdue. For example, the faculty have active, programmatic lines of research in romantic attachment, career and talent development, grief and bereavement issues, international student issues, and college student gambling. See our list of faculty and see an overview of their research projects at the following links:
