About The Position

Westminster University in Salt Lake City seeks a full-time, permanent Assistant or Associate Professor in the CACREP-accredited Mental Health Counseling Program (MSMHC) starting Spring of 2025 or Fall of 2025. We have educated master's level practitioners since 2007 and established training partnerships with community agencies to provide counseling for diverse populations. In response to our local provider shortage, we have doubled the size of our entering graduate cohort and plan to introduce a doctoral program in Counselor Education and Supervision (CES) in the next few years. Our master's program is a full-time, residential, cohort-based model. Our small classes and vibrant learning community facilitate a student-centered, interactive learning approach. In January 2023, we opened a low-fee community clinic, providing services for underserved populations and offering intensive faculty supervision for masters and doctoral students. In launching our CES doctoral program, we aim to advance the counseling field through preparing creative teachers, thoughtful supervisors, skilled researchers, strong client advocates, and expert clinicians.
