The MS in Professional Counseling (MSPC) — which includes a Clinical Mental Health Counseling specialization — will academically prepare students for state licensure as clinical mental health counselors. Students will learn how to address clients’ emotional, mental, and spiritual needs while maintaining a commitment to professional practice and service. In an educational environment that promotes active learning, students will integrate Christian beliefs and practices with the scholarship and professional standards of the counseling field.
