Overview

The Master of Arts in Counseling Program (MAC) prepares professionals in the theoretical foundations and skills necessary for advanced positions in the fields of individual, couple, and family counseling. Built on a philosophy of service, intellectual hunger, fundamental respect, social justice, and a focus on the person of the counselor, the MAC program strives to embody spirit, empathic care, intellect, and wisdom. The program is characterized by personal, social, and professional transformation, liberation, and enrichment. The program follows a three-year cohort model. Year one focuses on foundations of counseling, year two on impacts, and year three on reflective practice. Courses are primarily offered once a week with course sections offered in the afternoons or evenings. While the MAC program is designed to be able to be completed in a minimum of three years, students can attend full or part time and have up to seven years to complete the program. MAC Program Highlights: Courses are offered both in the afternoons and evenings Monday through Thursday, with internship classes held on Saturdays. Coursework in the MAC program supports counseling careers and licensure in the Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) field and the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) field. Counselors are trained and licensed to work with individuals, couples, relationships, family systems, and groups. Teaching methods include dyad, small-group work, lectures, media, presentations, and discussions as well as supervised role playing, psychodrama, and introspective exercises. A required internship complements coursework by providing students with a supervised, in-depth opportunity to work in a variety of counseling settings.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
