A Survey of Counselor Education Comprehensive Exam Types and Procedures: Recommendations for Clinical Supervisors and Counseling Faculty

Clinical supervisors and faculty within counseling programs have ethical, legal, and professional obligations to ensure students possess comprehensive knowledge of core counseling components. This survey research study examined the types of comprehensive exams used by counselor education programs as well as their remediation and dismissal procedures when students do not pass comprehensive exams. Results show statistically significant differences with programs accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) requiring multiple-choice exams. Recommendations for clinical supervisors and counseling faculty are discussed.
