"I chose EIU again for my graduate degree primarily because of the CACREP Accredited Counseling program where I have been able to work towards dual-licensure in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I was also offered a GA after accepting a spot on the school track with the Freshman Connection program that is well-known on campus. ... EIU has been my home since 2020 and I will forever be grateful for the growth and opportunities that came from both of my degrees."Serena VossMaster of Science in Counseling - School | Class of 2026
