The Graduate Counseling Programs are housed within the Moravian University College of Health (CoH), in the newly formed School of Behavioral and Community Health (SoBaCH). This school has a mission of training students in a multicultural and social justice framework. The interdisciplinary College of Health emphasizes collaboration and interprofessional education across three units: the School of Behavioral & Community Health, the Helen Breidegam School of Nursing, and the School of Rehabilitation Sciences (which includes programs in Athletic Training, Health Sciences, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Public Health and Speech-Language Pathology). By combining an entrepreneurial spirit and a unique curricular structure, students and faculty can engage with one another across disciplines in a truly interprofessional educational environment modeled toward best practices in the clinical setting. This collaborative environment is designed to foster student learning and engagement while avoiding the traditional discipline-specific silos that impede learning.
