Program of Study
Upon admission to the graduate program, each student is assigned an advisor to
review the program options and to develop a plan of study. The majority of
students in the Masters of Arts degree in Mental Health Counseling program are
part-time students who follow the sequence of courses listed below; however,
minor variations in sequencing of courses are made to accommodate full-time
students enrolled in the degree program. The program requires prerequisites
for more advanced courses. To guide students in the sequencing of courses, six
levels of course sequencing have been identified. With few exceptions, each
level must be taken in sequence. STUDENTS MUST OBTAIN THE APPROVAL OF
THEIR ADVISOR BEFORE ENROLLING IN ANY COURSES.
