Prepare for licensure as a professional counselor while gaining cultural competencies to work with diverse clients.

The mission of the master's degree program is to prepare students to become professional clinical mental health counselors, culturally competent to work with diverse clientele in a variety of mental health settings including colleges and universities, organizational settings, and community behavioral health agencies. Clinical mental health counselors seek to prevent or treat psychological problems and to promote the health of individuals, families, groups and organizations in a diverse society.
