Overview

Program highlights

The highly respected Master of Arts in Counseling program is dedicated to preparing tomorrow's leaders of the counseling profession. Students build close relationships with faculty, supervisors, preceptors, therapists and researchers who innovate in scholarship, education and clinical practice. Counselors who complete our program are able to apply psychodynamic thinking and evidence-based strategies to diverse client populations, and contribute to advancing the field.

The Master's program is accredited by Northwestern University through The Center for Applied Psychological & Family Studies. The program has a rich tradition in both its psychodynamic orientation and the systems perspective of The Family Institute, which is a national leader in research, training and practice. You will enjoy many opportunities for personal and professional development. Our program is small and selective; however, we are concerned primarily with making a good fit between what we have to offer and the interests of students we admit. Our students are gifted and come from many cultural backgrounds and experiences.
