The Master of Science in Pastoral Counseling seeks an integration of theory and practice in the pastoral counselor and challenges candidates to integrate their understanding of theology and/or spirituality with contemporary counseling theory and practice. The goal of the program is to develop competent practitioners of the counseling profession who give the spiritual dimension an integral role as they help others. Students are able to seek national credentials through the National Board of Certified Counselors and are able to continue minimal coursework in order to qualify for state licensure in the state of their choice and residence.
Designed to allow for either full-time or part-time clinical participation, the pace at which the students choose to progress through the program can vary depending on their previous counseling experience, theoretical background, experience in ministry, employment and other personal commitments.
The Master’s of Science program is fully accredited through the American Counseling Association’s Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) under the Community Counseling Standards and is also accredited through the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC).
