We seek a person who can integrate the Christian faith with the counseling profession in an ethical and competent manner while balancing teaching, research, and service. The position requires evening and summer teaching, and candidates are expected to exhibit a strong commitment to excellence in teaching face-to-face, digital distance-based, and hybrid course delivery modalities. The position will be housed at the main University campus in Virginia Beach, VA. However, highly qualified remote applicants may also be considered.

Regent University is one of the nation’s leading academic centers for Christian thought and action, offering over 150 associate, bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees and enrolling more than 13,000 students worldwide. Regent offers high-quality, in-demand and affordable degree programs while remaining committed to its foundational mission to educate Christian leaders to change the world.

Qualifications: Applicants must have an earned doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from a Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accredited program, a clear counselor professional identity, and licensure as a school counselor and/or LPC/LMFT. The ideal candidates will be able to teach across the counselor education curriculum, although their primary responsibility will reside in the masters’ programs.

The Counseling Department is housed in the School of Psychology and Counseling. It offers four CACREP degree programs (M.A. in CMHC, School and Couple, Marriage and Family Counseling; both online and face-to-face) and an on-line Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. The Ph.D. program was the first CACREP-accredited doctoral program to be offered completely within an online format. Faculty and students are active participants in the American Counseling Association (ACA), Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) and other national, regional, and state organizations, including the Counseling/Counselor Education Track within the Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS). The programs draw students from around the country and the world to develop their counselor identity and skill set within the context of a Christian paradigm and worldview. Faculty who can articulate the counseling profession through the lens of the Christian tradition are essential in carrying out the mission of the school and the university.

Applicants who represent diverse cultural backgrounds and who can contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, research, and mentorship are especially encouraged to apply.

Expectations include 1) a dedication to Christ-centered teaching and learning; 2) a record of or potential for academic scholarship; 3) the ability to teach undergraduate-level courses; 4) experience with online instructional technology; and 5) a willingness to embrace the College and University Identity and Mission statements and subscribe to a statement of Christian faith.
