Master of Arts in Counselor Education - Marriage and Family Therapy

We have designed this website to be helpful to prospective students, current students, and program alumni. The Counselor Education Program emphasizes a holistic approach to counseling. Counselors assist clients in achieving optimal personal, educational, and vocational development. Counselors are proactive "agents of change". To facilitate change, an individual must be fully accepted as a person of worth, dignity, and potential. Counseling assists individuals in understanding themselves, making the most of their own qualities and making their own unique contributions to a multicultural society. The master's degree in Marriage, Couple and Family Therapy prepares students to work in private practice, agencies and other settings as marriage and family therapists. Graduates of the program are expected to have a sense of professional identity, acquire requisite skills and knowledge to work with couples and families, attain licensure and become leaders in the profession.
