¿Qué aprenderé?

The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) accredited program features internationally known faculty, two state-of-the-art community counseling clinics and a rigorous curriculum focusing on experiential learning integrated with the application of didactic, research-based knowledge. Core tenets emphasized throughout the program include diversity, ethics, professional development and self-awareness.

Students learn about the counseling profession and develop therapeutic skills through practical experience, knowledge, and personal reflection.

Course Work

The Master of Arts (M.A.) in professional counseling offers a required course sequence that builds skills through three levels, from basic to advanced, via didactic and experiential activities. The curriculum includes core foundations in theories, clinical interventions, assessment, ethics, diversity, and research. An internship is required for the capstone experience. Students can choose from four concentrations: clinical mental health counseling; marriage, couple, and family counseling; school counseling; and school counselor certification. Concentrations in clinical mental health counseling; marriage, couple, and family counseling; and school counseling are nationally accredited by CACREP, while the concentration of school counselor certification meets the requirements of the Texas State Board for Educator Certification in Texas.

Career Options

The professional counseling program is designed to provide the training and course work graduates need to become certified as Texas school counselors, Texas licensed professional counselors, or Texas licensed marriage and family therapists. The Institute for Play Therapy offers additional specialized training in play therapy, sand tray therapy, and animal-assisted counseling that could assist counselors in becoming Registered Play Therapists or certified in animal-assisted counseling.
