Our Program: MS in Counseling Psychology

 Course work requirements: 60 semester hour program  Clinical work requirements:

 150 hour Practicum Experience  600 hour internship experience

 Electives: 1. General; 2. Concentrations

 Three courses which can be taken as general electives or used to

study within a concentration

 Full time study requires four to five courses a semester, plus

two courses in summer between first and second year

 Part-time programs are tailored to students, although clinical

placements are more difficult to develop and are the responsibility of the student as well as attending some early afternoon scheduled classes.

The Program meets pre-degree licensing requirements for mental health counselors in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
