Our Programs

The Minor in Counseling program and related elective courses emphasize counseling as it relates to a variety of major fields of study.

Within the Masters of Science in Counseling, there are three different counseling specializations: Career, College, and School. School counseling students are eligible for the State of California Pupil Personnel Services Credential with a specialization in School Counseling.

Clinical Mental Health Counselors work in an array of community-based behavioral health agencies, hospital-based inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, school and college settings, rehabilitation programs, youth wellness centers and programs/services for at risk and marginalized communities. Graduates obtain their LPCC and may choose to work in private practice.

MFCC specialization prepares graduates for LMFT licensure in California. MFTs provide assessment, diagnosis, and intervention for individuals, couples, families, children, and groups in family, youth, and child agencies, hospitals, schools, universities, forensic settings, private practice, and a variety of community counseling services. The curriculum emphasizes a culturally-informed and systemic-familial-relational orientation to prevention, intervention, consultation, and advocacy.

The Pupil Personnel Services Credential: School Counseling Designation (PPSC) program is designed to accommodate those individuals who currently hold a Master's Degree in Counseling and who wish to acquire a credential enabling them to work in California as a school counselor in a PK-12 school setting.
