Overview

This thesis-based Master of Arts in Counselling and Guidance Sciences, Research and Intervention concentration, combines a substantial applied practicum with original research training. The 45-credit program includes 12 credits of supervised practicum (60 days over two terms, two days per week) alongside 24 credits dedicated to thesis development, in which students define a research problem, build a theoretical framework, apply a research methodology, and present findings and conclusions.
