The Master of Arts (MA) in Community Counseling program provides students with a
sound foundation for the practice of community counseling, with a multifaceted
focus on developmental and preventative mental health services. The program
introduces students to the basic skills of counseling, integrating individual,
group, family, and organizational interventions. The program emphasizes
development of the attitudes, knowledge, and skills required for the ethical
provision of quality professional counseling services.
As such, the MA in
Community Counseling program is committed to educating and training students to
work in a variety of settings with diverse client populations. Since licensing
may change and often varies from state to state, students should verify the
current requirements of the state in which they plan to become licensed.
