Mental Health Counseling Concentration (60 credits)
The purpose of the Mental Health Counseling Program is to develop highly skilled counselors who are prepared to meet the mental health needs of their diverse communities in ways that promote social change and social justice. Students develop self-awareness as well as empathetic and empowering attitudes concerning the human conditions they encounter through a broad range of exposure, academic coursework, and supervision concerning counseling theories, ethical principles, and practical skills.

It is the responsibility of the student to keep current with the state requirements, such as postgraduate supervisor experience in the passing of state and national examinations.
