Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling

A clinical mental health counselor focuses on helping people address the personal, familial, and social issues that interfere with their abilities to lead healthy and productive lives. Our practice-oriented program equips graduates for a variety of specialties in mental health counseling, including community agency work, substance abuse and addictions work, in-patient treatment, and college counseling. Through a combination of classroom and field experiences, you develop a unique, professional identity as a clinical mental health counselor in our CACREP-accredited program.

Secure a job as a counselor.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a strong need for mental health counselors. Counseling is projected as one of the faster growing mental health professions -- increasing 24% over the next 7-10 years. Learn more about the job outlook.

Learn by doing.

Apply your knowledge, develop your professional identity, and fine-tune your skills in supervised field work which includes a one semester practicum and three semesters of internship experiences. Learn more about practicum and internship.

Get ready for licensure.

Prepare yourself for licensure by building competency in eight core areas, as recommended by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP): professional identity; foundations of social and cultural diversity; human growth and development; career development; the helping relationship; group work; assessment; research and program development; and the specialty areas of mental health counseling: foundations, contextual dimensions, skills and practices.

Engage with active, dedicated faculty.

Discover a faculty of professionals who are committed to preparing you for your career through excellence in teaching, active involvement in clinical practice and scholarship, and service to the community and profession.
