Cognate, or specialty, areas are developed through 9 semester hours concentrated in coursework related to the population or setting in which the student has a professional goal, e.g. Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Forensic Psychology, Pastoral Counseling, or School Counseling. In developing the cognate area, students must seek the advice and approval of their academic advisor.
