The Department of Research, Counseling and Curriculum is committed to scholarship, service, and teaching through which we provide:
The emphasis of the professional preparation program is on integrating scientific knowledge, pedagogical theory, skill acquisition, and application into a comprehensive educational experience. The educational program is conducted in an atmosphere that is open, concerned, and responsive to the needs of students and the community.
We collaborate with professional associations, local P-12 schools, and other educational institutions, as well as area counseling and health service and community organizations. In addition, we inspire Augusta University students to make a lifelong, creative commitment to their personal growth and well-being—and to support the growth and well-being of others—through education that fosters a more just and peaceful society. A student so educated has gained the knowledge and skill necessary for cultivating such optimal physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, interpersonal, social, and environmental wellness and transformative work.
Additionally, the Department strives to ensure that the missions of the College of Education and Augusta University are realized.
Our faculty and staff are committed to high impact practice within the context of a caring community, and produce innovative research that seeks to address matters related to mental health, intellectual growth, ethical development and social justice.
