LWC Doctoral Program celebrates decade of service

From Duane Bonifer

Lindsey Wilson College's final major event before transitioning to Lindsey Wilson University on July 1, 2025, was a celebration of the academic program that was a major factor in the change.

At the 11th Lindsey Wilson Mental Health Symposium -- held Saturday, June 28, 2025, in the Norma and Glen Hodge Center for Discipleship and online -- the college community celebrated the first decade of the school's doctoral program in counselor education and supervision.

Lindsey Wilson's doctoral program debuted in 2015, hooding its first graduate in December 2018. An additional 44 students have graduated from the program, which is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, the gold standard of counselor education programs. Lindsey Wilson's master of education in counseling, which started in 1993, is also CACREP-accredited.

"We are becoming a university in a few days, and among the many reasons is our CACREP-accredited master of education in counseling," said Vice President for Academic Affairs Ray Lutgring. "Another major reason we should be calling ourselves a university is the incredibly successful doctoral degree in counselor education and supervision."
