The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Professional Counseling is a degree program for professionals. Experiences provide the foundation in psychology theory, scientific research, and clinical practice. In this context, students learn the different approaches and clinical techniques required for today's practitioners offering therapeutic services to individuals and groups. Also, a major goal of this program is to help prepare students for licensure in Professional Counseling in their resident state. Students who graduate from the M.A. in Professional Counseling Degree program will be prepared to do therapy in a church setting, private practice, governmental agency, and community agency. This program also prepares students for advanced studies in related fields. Students may also consider taking additional courses for a dual certification in Professional Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. Students interested in a dual certification should consult with the Dean of the School of Leadership & Human Services.
