Introduction
This introduction is intended to provide prospective students, current students, and their families with valuable information about our department. It also serves as a gateway for individuals from around the world to learn more about us.
Background
The department was established in 2006 to meet the growing demand for professional counseling services. Although relatively new, the counseling program has been in place since 1987 as part of the Department of Education. The passage of the Psychologist Act in 2001 has heightened awareness of mental health issues and the importance of maintaining psychological well-being. This legislation has set standards for professional practice in the counseling field, ensuring that the public is better served through the enforcement of ethical and professional guidelines.
Our Goals
The Counseling and Guidance program at the National University of Tainan provides professional training at both the undergraduate and master’s levels. This training is designed to prepare counseling associates and professionals for a variety of work settings, including schools and universities, community organizations, private practice, court systems, and business or industry.
Our program aims to train and develop exceptional professional counselors. The graduate program specifically prepares students to take the National Exam for licensure as professional counselors in Taiwan
