Brigham Young University. Counseling and Career Center
Administrative History
The Counseling and Career Center (1998-2019) was support office and service center at Brigham Young University. The center provided direction for student affairs and coordination of services to individual students.
The Counseling and Career Center (CCC) operated within the division of Student Life, and was previously known as the Counseling and Development Center. The role of the CCC in Student Life is to provide counseling, advisement instruction, and support services that promote the balanced development of BYU students. Psychologists and psychology interns at the CCC are expected to adhere to the Ethical Standards and Code of Conduct of the American Psychological Association (APA) in respecting the dignity and worth of individuals, regardless of the nature of their difficulties; gender; age; ethnic, cultural, or religious background; or sexual orientation. This commitment to APA ethical standards includes protecting the confidentiality of psychologist communications with clients. The CCC offers a wide variety of services that address the diverse challenges students face in a university environment, which may include personal, emotional, academic, or career concerns. Interns are required to participate in many of these services and are encouraged or may negotiate to participate in others. CCC services and activities include: Personal Counseling and Psychotherapy, Couples/Marital Counseling, Group Counseling and Psychotherapy, Crisis Intervention and Consultation, Career Counseling, Academic Counseling, University Advisement Center, Career Placement Services, Credit Courses, and Workshops.
In 2019 the office was renamed the Student Development Services.
