Immersions

Counseling@Northwestern students are required to attend two in-person immersions during their time in the program. The immersions are held in Evanston, Illinois, and are required in order to complete the program. There are some additional out-of-pocket costs not covered by financial aid associated with these immersions, including travel to Evanston.
