Guidance and Counseling Program

Mission
The Guidance and Counseling Department is committed to provide students with a wide
range of learning experiences which will prepare them to be positive, healthy and
productive individuals in which its process is emphasized on meeting the developmental
needs of students in the intellectual, physical, social and emotional areas, in addition to
career planning, preparation and placement.

Vision
The vision of the Guidance and Counseling Department is to be an integral part of each

delivered to larger groups of students with common needs.
