Program Overview

Counselors have the power to lead social change by improving the mental health of individuals, couples, families, and groups at every stage of life. Through real-world experience, Governors State’s nationally ranked Master of Arts in Counseling equips you to diagnose, consult, and evaluate clients; provide preventive intervention; and bring about life-changing results through counseling.

In the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accredited MA in Counseling program, you will choose from one of three sequences to concentrate your studies in your primary field of interest: Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC); Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling (MCFC); or School Counseling (SC). Our curriculum for each of these specialty areas is structured around CACREP’s standards for master’s (entry-level) programs. Many of our students will gain practical experience through our on-campus counseling lab that serves the surrounding community. In addition to completing a minimum 100-hour of a practicum experience in our on-site Counseling Lab or in school systems for school counseling students, every student will also complete a minimum 600-hour internship
