Completely lost choosing a grad school
Hi, I am on track to graduate this December and I am trying to find a grad school that best suits me. I am pretty interested in moving to Chicago and doing grad school there. My major is psychology with a minor in criminal justice, and my goal is to become a juvenile detention counselor. The M.A. clinical mental health counseling programs that I have found so far that are CACREP accredited are: Adler, Concordia, NEIU, and Eastern Illinois University.
I am completely lost on which one to choose because I want one that actually teaches me stuff that I will take with me, has internship sites in locations that are similar to what I want to do, and is not insanely expensive. I also want one where I am able to do the program and work.
Just wanting to get some advice and I am also planning to go to grad school in Fall 2027!
