School of Counseling
MS Goal Statement Guidelines We are excited that you have decided to apply to Walden University’s School of Counseling.
Our counseling programs meet the rigor of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and
Related Educational Programs (CACREP), and our faculty is committed to positive social
change. We commend you for beginning this personally enriching and professionally fulfilling
journey; we are ready to meet you and eager to count you as one of our colleagues in a few
years.
Directions: Answer each question concisely with specific details. You are strongly encouraged
to proofread, grammar check, and spell check your responses before submission; your
application will be evaluated not only on content but also on the presentation of written skills. Be
sure to answer each question completely. Responses that do not address the content of the
question may delay review of your application and could result in non-acceptance to your desired
degree program.
Name: You must provide your full name (first and last) on your goal statement for it to be
accepted by admissions.
Degree: You must clearly indicate to which degree program you are applying.
Content: There are five sections described below. Please include the following information
when preparing your goal statement. While not required, we strongly suggest that you format
your goal statement by heading each section with the headings shown below. Write your
information in paragraph form and do not use bullet format under the section headings.
Please note that applicants with incomplete goal statements will not be considered for
admission.
Counselor Definition
• In a few sentences, describe what led you to graduate education in the counseling
profession and your career goals.
Life Skills
• Many life experiences and skills developed in your past will serve you as a professional
counselor. Consider skills (do not include technology skills) you have obtained from
current or past employment, community volunteer services, or extracurricular activity
experiences. Summarize two or three skills that will make you a competent professional
counselor.
Feedback
• Training to become a professional counselor requires deliberate growth and development
including receiving and applying constructive feedback. As a student, you will receive

ongoing and substantial constructive feedback regarding your scholarly performance (i.e.,
knowledge, skills, and professional behaviors). Share how you have processed,
responded to, and applied past constructive feedback that was difficult to hear.
Multiculturalism/Diversity
• Multicultural/Diversity competence is explored extensively in the School of Counseling
graduate programs. Considering that having a cultural or implicit bias is a normal
experience for all individuals, identify a closely held value or belief that will be the most
difficult for you to respect while interacting with others and explain why.
Self-Care
• Identify three to five activities that you do to manage personal mental health, emotional
problems, stress, and/or interpersonal relationships effectively.
Admission Committee
Prior Academic Experience (applicable for applicants applying with a GPA below 2.5 or were

• If your most recently completed degree GPA is 2.49 or below, please add a paragraph
explaining the reasons for the low GPA and how you believe you will be able to be
successful as a graduate student.
• If you were academically dismissed from Walden and are seeking readmission, please
add a paragraph explaining the reasons for your low academic performance and how you
will be successful now (i.e., what is different now so you can be successful).
