An examination of 340 graduates of the master's degree program in guidance and counseling at Boston College revealed no meaningful differences in desirable counselor characteristics between those who had studied part‐time and those who had studied full‐time. It is recommended that further large‐sample studies be carried out to examine the issue when reliable measures of counseling effectiveness are taken into consideration.
