Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Northern Illinois University Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education (CAHE).

Understanding the world, communities, and people is the thrust of the Department of Counseling, Adult and Higher Education. CAHE is committed to the best practices in the preparation of educators, advocates, and leaders in the fields of counseling, adult education, and higher education.

Students, faculty, and the community are attracted to our department because we are committed to understanding the past, advancing the present, and modeling for the future what graduate preparation should be for professionals involved with individuals, groups, and organizations in a global community.

Dr. Suzanne Willis, Interim Chair
