Abstract

This study surveyed 74 master’s level counseling students from various programs about their outcome expectation (OE) toward becoming competent counselors in relation to the topics of spirituality and religiousness (S/R). This study explored the influence of program leaning environment (LE) toward S/R and program emphasis on S/R competencies (SRC) on students’ OE. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis supported the impact of both LE and SRC on OE. Implications for counselor educators are provided.
