Online learning has emerged as a significant teaching medium, influencing how higher education is conducted in the U.S. and globally. While widely accepted in select disciplines, distance learning as the method for counselor preparation is often met with skepticism or resistance in the counseling profession. The purpose of this paper is to argue for the confluence of distance and global training in counselor education and training, and to illustrate that confluence through examining the teaching and learning process of doctoral students in a distance PhD program accredited by the U.S. Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs.
