Traditional Academic Values, New Technology

Courses are taught in a similar time frame to a traditional university, but by eliminating long summer and midterm breaks students graduate and move forward in their career more quickly. Online courses allow the flexibility to complete assignments and study according to the dictates of students daily and weekly schedules.
Yorkville University professors are highly qualified in their fields. They have earned doctoral degrees and bring their real-world practical experience to their classes. Many of them also teach at other leading universities in both Canada and the US. The individual courses and the entire curriculum are carefully designed to optimize the online student's learning experience.
Issues Concerning US Students
US Student Loans (Title IV)US students attending Yorkville University will not be eligible for Title IV student loans because Yorkville University is a private foreign university. However, several private banks offer student loans for international study.
Transfer of CreditsUS earned credits will transfer to Yorkville University only on a case-by-case basis. Likewise, US universities will evaluate credits earned at Yorkville University on a case-by-case basis.
US LicensingBecause licensed professions in the US are regulated on a state-by- state basis, Yorkville University’s Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree will need to be evaluated by an individual state before a graduate is eligible for licensure in the mental health profession in the US. Students are urged to contact their state department of professional regulation/licensure for more information.
MA in Counseling Psychology (Online)
Housed within the Faculty of Behavioural Sciences, Department of Psychology, the counselling discipline is embedded in and evolving with society as social norms change. Yorkville University prepares students to adapt to these changes using sound judgement, personal resources, and an in-depth understanding of the practical issues confronting the real and complex world of professional counselling. Somewhat unique among academic counselling psychology programs, the program at Yorkville University is oriented to graduate practitioners who are able to quickly put their skills to work in the real world.
Our goal is to contribute to the worldwide training of competent and ethical mental health care practitioners who will enrich the societies in which they live as they help others cope with the stresses of modern life.
The master's level curriculum in counselling psychology is intended to help address this need. Courses are practice oriented rather than research oriented, since practice is the area of greatest need. To limit geographic barriers to study, didactic courses are offered online as well as in-class. Students can live in more rural areas across multiple time zones and log on to their learning community at the times of day most convenient for them. Supervised hands-on practicums are arranged and supervised in or near the students' communities.
