Master's in Professional Counseling

The South University Master of Arts degree program in Professional Counseling is a 72-quarter-hour curriculum intended to meet the local and regional need for qualified professional counselors. The emphasis of this program is on community and agency counseling. The program is designed to enable graduates to achieve all initial eligibility criteria to become certified as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC).

The program is structured to permit students to pursue their master's degree while balancing the rigors of work and home. Classes meet each Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and students have the opportunity to complete two classes each quarter. Classes, each five weeks in length, are taken one at a time.

Students who enroll in the program are taught using two primary modes of instruction. The majority of the program involves didactic and experiential classroom instruction, supplemented by computer-based assignments using Internet technology. The second mode of instruction focuses on supervised field experiences. Students are placed in actual community counseling settings and practice counseling under the auspices of an on-site supervisor. Students in field placements also receive weekly individual and group supervision from qualified faculty supervisors.
