Academic Programs
Teaching and counseling are more than just professions—they are callings, built on a commitment to serving others. At Lewis & Clark, trust, integrity, inclusiveness, and respect are as important as the research-based skills we teach. Our students become creative leaders who transform society through education and counseling.

- Connections and Community: Our programs are designed to build and nurture the relationships that underpin the best teaching and counseling. Here, you will make lifelong connections with other students, our faculty, and—through our extensive internship and practicum programs—the communities you serve. Through our CORE program, opportunities abound for cross-disciplinary dialogue.
