Sterling College offers short-term counseling services free to any of our students. The purpose of providing counseling services to our students is to improve their academic performance and their emotional and spiritual well-being. Research indicates that students who were struggling socially or emotionally were more likely to either drop out of school or transfer. We aim to reach out to those students, so that their college experience can be more enjoyable and successful.
