The Master of Arts program in rehabilitation and counselor education with a subprogram in rehabilitation and mental health counseling requires a minimum of 60 s.h. of graduate credit. Full-time students can complete the program in approximately 21 months (four semesters plus two summer sessions). The program prepares professional counselors to provide assistance in psychological wellness, employment, independent living, and personal or economic development to persons with disabilities and other individuals who encounter barriers in meeting their own functional needs. It also prepares counselors in mental health counseling/psychiatric rehabilitation to obtain licensure as professionals who provide services in mental health settings.

Rehabilitation and mental health counselors work in a variety of settings, including public agencies such as state vocational rehabilitation programs and Veterans Affairs vocational rehabilitation programs; independent living centers; community-based rehabilitation centers and supported employment; community mental health centers; psychiatric rehabilitation programs; and private for-profit worker's compensation and insurance rehabilitation agencies. They provide interventions designed to help persons with disabilities adapt to the demands of their environments. They also prepare the environments to accommodate an individual's needs. Assessment, personal and vocational counseling, development of rehabilitation and treatment plans, case management, service coordination, psychosocial adjustment, job development, placement, and follow-up are typical services that rehabilitation and mental health counselors provide.

The M.A. program in rehabilitation and mental health counseling is accredited by the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) in clinical mental health counseling.

Graduates of the program are eligible for certification by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) and the National Board for Certified Counselors. By completing the program's course work, students also complete the courses they must take in order to apply for licensure as mental health counselors in Iowa.

The curriculum blends academic work with supervised clinical experiences. Students take two semesters of practicum and one semester of internship concurrently with academic courses. The program concludes with a full-time internship (40 hours per week) during a spring semester. Students are assigned to rehabilitation and community mental health agencies or facilities that meet CORE and CACREP accreditation standards and that have programs or clientele who match a student's interests and educational objectives. Clinical placements require criminal background checks.

Supervised practicums, internships, and comprehensive examinations are not offered during summer sessions. The M.A. in rehabilitation and counselor education with a subprogram in rehabilitation and mental health counseling requires the following work.
