Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology & Research

Welcome to the Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology and Research (CEPR), where our objective is to prepare advanced professionals to be both sophisticated practitioners and researchers. Students from our graduate degree programs are qualified to be the next generation of counselors, psychologists, program evaluators, professors, and researchers. We provide our students with the skills necessary to fill these and other roles in which knowledge of human development, learning and cognition, and research and evaluation methods are essential.

The clinical programs in CEPR participate in the university-wide Interprofessional Community Health Clinic (ICHC), a clinical training and research center that provides a variety of health and wellness services to the UofM, Memphis, and neighboring communities. In addition to our academic programs, CEPR houses a clinical research center: The University of Memphis Institute on Disability (UMID). UMID houses TigerLIFE (Tigers Learning Independence Fostering Education and Employment), the largest and most ethnically diverse program for intellectually/developmentally disabled adults in the state of Tennessee. We hope you take this time to learn more about our department and the opportunities that lie before you.
