M.A. in Counseling Psychology (M.A.C.)
The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Counseling Psychology program is designed to
provide students with a foundation in theories and methods of counseling
psychology with hands-on, practical, supervised training in counseling
psychology techniques. The program offers the best features of traditional
(M.A.) training programs coupled with Adler School’s emphasis on the education
and training in socially responsible practice.
This comprehensive graduate program can be completed in 24 months of
full-time attendance. Graduates of the program are well prepared for a wide
variety of community mental health positions in human service agencies and
organizations in both the public and private sectors. This degree program
exceeds the academic and pre-degree training and education requirements for
the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the State of Illinois and
the Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in the Province of British Columbia.
Graduates of the Vancouver Campus are eligible for membership with the
British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (www.bc-counsellors.org)
and/or the Canadian Counselling Association (www.ccacc.ca). However, this
degree is not intended to, nor does it prepare students to qualify upon
graduation for membership with the College of Psychologists of BC or to use
the designation "Psychologist" in British Columbia.
