The authors developed an assessment system for counselor education programs through a Delphi study (n 9). The pro-posed assessment system and recommendations for implementation using existing program assign-ments and developing program practices around the proposed system are presented. Future research areas are outlined including opportunities to further develop the proposed system and explore other means of systematic program assessment of student learning outcomes
