Master in Arts in Counseling
The 51-unit Master of Arts in Counseling Program prepares students to counsel in educational settings, community agencies, hospitals, private clinics, religious settings, and in industry. It is also an appropriate program for students who wish to pursue a doctoral program at a later date. The M.A. degree in Counseling does not meet the requirements for the California State License in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT). It is important to note that in accordance with California State regulations, students who complete and receive the 51-unit master’s degree cannot later transfer or apply those credits to the completion of an MFT license program.
The 51-unit program can be completed as a general program or can include one of the division’s four emphasis programs.
