Program Overview

Program Description:

Mental health counselors work alongside psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers to provide counseling services to people from all walks of life.

Our 60-credit MS program lays the groundwork for aspiring mental health counselors to begin work in a highly competitive and rewarding field in service of patients and clients in need of help.

Mental health counselors provide sensitive and structured support to clients in areas such as substance abuse counseling, career counseling, marriage counseling and family counseling. An MHC degree will get you started.

Our curriculum combines an intensive clinical internship and a variety of courses to best prepare you for licensure and fulfilling careers working with diverse populations. And the coursework in our program includes the educational requirements needed to apply for the CASAC-Trainee certificate. Taught by clinically active faculty, you'll benefit from their experience as well as their expertise.
