This program has a lot of potential. Trauma-focused counseling is the future of therapy treatment. Unfortunately, the program is fairly new which means that it's very disorganized and at times chaotic. Course schedules change at the last minute which has impacted student financial aid, leaving hundreds of students owing Jefferson out-of-pocket tuition at one point. Emails to faculty go ignored or students receive frantic/passive-aggressive responses. Assignments go ungraded with no feedback until the end of the semester which makes it impossible to learn clinical skills and improve before the next assignment is due. Communication from faculty/administration is usually opaque or contradictory. These issues have had major impacts on students. Students have found out just a couple of weeks before graduation that they weren't graduating. Students have been accused of plagiarism and almost kicked out of the program when making small mistakes in their citations. It's too expensive as well.
Trauma-focused therapy is important and CTC at Jefferson has a great vision for the program and the future of therapy. However, the program is disorganized and the faculty is stretched too thin. Asking for feedback, help, or just an update is met with resentment and opposition. Class discussions are drawn out and tangential. Course work is usually unrelated to what is taught in class. Assignments and client recordings aren't graded until the end of the semester, making it impossible for students to learn or improve before their next assignment. Faculty are reactionary and disorganized. Some adjunct professors don't have licensure and yet are tasked with supervising internship students. Some professors are great and care about their students. Some hide behind academic buerocracy and treat students like an inconvenience.
Graduate student in the Community and Trauma Counseling program. This mental health counseling program is (in my opinion) the best education you can get. The entire program is geared toward how trauma affects mental health and how to treat trauma in order to heal clients in more effective and compassionate ways. The curriculum incorporates the latest research in trauma and trauma-informed techniques. The professors bring real-world experience into the courses and really care about the students. I have met the smartest and most open-minded people in this program.
If you believe that mental health largely stems from traumatic experiences, then this is your program and you will be introduced to so many like-minded people. They also offer specializations: Addictions, Play Therapy, and Art Therapy.
Con: It's a fairly new program and they're still trying to improve it and organize it a little bit better. Communications and schedules can feel disorganized sometimes.
