M.S. in Counseling Psychology (MSCP) Overview
The American Psychological Association defines counseling psychology as encompassing “a broad range of culturally-sensitive practices that help people improve their well-being, alleviate distress and maladjustment, resolve crises, and increase their ability to function better.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
Our program is aimed at preparing graduates for tough but rewarding practice-based work in communities and schools, helping children and adults adapt to educational, work-related, family-based or society’s demands and problems associated with emotional and mental disorders.
Put another way, our graduates help people—every day—lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
We offer three concentrations: Marriage and Family Therapy, Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling.
