This paper is about the importance of guidance and counseling in higher education. It discussed how and why Guidance and Counseling was created and established in the USA and subsequently spread to Francophone African countries, such as Burkina Faso. It also examines the history of guidance and counselling in the USA and Burkina Faso, and analyzes the reasons why its implementation in Burkina Faso produces unsatisfactory results. Students indeed hardly meet their needs, and that is why the approach of guidance and counseling in Burkina does not show any efficiency. Identifying the needs, creating counseling units, and calling researchers in Burkina to propose theories on students’ development in order to explain the way students develop are some suggestions proposed to better the program in Burkina Faso.
