The Master of Science in Counseling Psychology Program is designed for persons with a background in psychology who are interested in working in settings such as mental health clinics, counseling centers, and human service agencies. The focus of the program is the development of personal qualities, understandings, and professional skills through learning about self, client, and counselor-client relationships. A small faculty-student ratio creates opportunities for frequent, individual interaction throughout the program. Our program emphasizes personal as well as professional growth. Course work and assignments focus not only on the development of counseling skills, but also on self-awareness and personal growth. This emphasis reflects our belief that an effective counselor is one who is sensitive both to personal strengths and to areas in need of improvement.
