Indiana Wesleyan University is pleased to announce its three online graduate counseling programs have been ranked in the top 10 of the nation’s best online counseling schools by both GoGrad.com and BestChoiceSchools.com. The recognized programs are Addictions Counseling, School Counseling, and Student Development Counseling and Administration.

GoGrad’s “Top Online Master’s in Counseling” list ranked IWU as ninth, among a total of 33 institutions. Schools were only considered if they were a public or private, non-profit institution, and offered an online degree in a counseling-related subject area. Programs were then ranked based on number of online graduate degrees available in the counseling field, graduate tuition, availability of academic and career counseling services, availability of job placement services, and GoGrad Peer-Based Value.
