Obstacles Master's Students Face

Updated: Dec 21, 2020

When we informally asked master's level students and faculty to tell us what class-based obstacles create barriers to enrollment and completion in counseling programs, here's what they cited:



The total cost of a master's degree in counseling vs. expected salaries

Lack of any funding for students other than loans

Funding that provides wages below the poverty level and forbids students from having outside jobs

Expectation that students give up full-time jobs to attend school

Unpaid internships

Lack of childcare for students who are parents

Lack of support for students who are caring for elderly parents

Use of GRE for admissions






Have you noticed other class-based obstacles to success within counselor training programs? Tell us about it!
