MA/MS in Clinical, Counseling and Applied Psychology

This master's program prepares students to become professional counselors who serve people from many backgrounds. Learning happens through lectures, seminars, research, and supervised placements, with a multicultural emphasis, and is taught by practitioners who bring academic and clinical experience. Classes meet in the evenings, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which helps working adults fit study into their schedules. The program is also available online, and the university lists upcoming virtual information sessions for prospective applicants. The curriculum is accredited by CACREP, the national body for counselor education, which the university says reflects the strength of its curriculum, faculty, and student preparation. The next cohort begins in August 2027, and the degree is completed over about two years. Prospective students are able to attend a virtual session to ask questions about admissions and the counseling curriculum before applying.
