MS in Professional Counseling

Become a skilled, compassionate counselor who makes a positive impact.

Gain the knowledge, values, and skills needed to improve the mental health of individuals, families, and groups. This holistic, faith-based learning experience includes rigorous academics, dynamic faculty interactions, and customized internships.

​

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.

SEU faculty desire to inspire qualities of the mind, heart and soul that will prepare students to reach their full potential.
