Due to the collaboration between the United States Air Force Academy and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs to offer the Counseling and Leadership master's degree program, the admissions process is unique from other programs offered by the Department of Counseling & Human Services within the UCCS College of Education.

Application Process

To complete the admissions process, please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Complete the online application in its entirety.
    
2. You must submit one official copy of a transcript from each institution of higher education that you have attended. Please note: transcripts are required for all degrees obtained and courses taken through institutions of higher education. For example, if you attended a community college prior to a four-year institution, you must have these transcripts as well. This is a Graduate Studies requirement and you will not be officially admitted until all application materials are received.
    
3. You must pay a $60.00 application fee. The application fee must be submitted electronically in the online application.  This fee is non-refundable and does not apply to tuition and other fees. Applications and credentials submitted for admission become the permanent property of the University. Your application will not be processed until your application payment is received.
    
4. Please follow these instructions when completing the forms:
   • Give full name, including former names under which materials pertinent to this application may be found.
   • Social Security numbers (optional) are used for record-keeping and identification of students.
   • Do not disregard any part of your previous record.
   • By submitting your application online you are certifying to the best of your knowledge, the information furnished is true and complete. Moreover, you understand if found to be otherwise, it is sufficient cause for refusal or dismissal.
   • Because you have been selected by USAFA for this graduate program, you do not have to submit standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, or a personal goal statement. Further, you are not required to complete an interview with a faculty member in the Department of Counseling and Human Services.
      
5. Mail all transcripts to:
