This study aims to investigate the reduction of university students' depression level as well as improvement of their psychological adjustment level through a counseling programme, using Beck's Theories of depression. The sample of this study was randomly selected, and categorized into two groups: experimental and control groups. The former consists of 15 students, who were counseled in a session per week, while the latter consists of 15 students, who were not counseled. The counseling was done in 8 sessions, with 90 minutes spent for each session. This study had two variables: counseling program was the independent variable, while dependent variable was depression and psychological adjustment. The results of One-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) show that in the depression level of the students, there were significant differences between the experimental group and control group; for psychological adjustment level, there were no significant differences between both groups.
