Counselling Psychology
Our Counselling Psychology programs prepare individuals for careers as professional counsellors in community and educational settings. Graduates find rewarding careers providing counselling services (individual, group, personal, and career counselling and psycho-educational services) to adults and children in a variety of settings settings.
MASTERS PROGRAMS
-
Are you interested in becoming a counsellor? Would you like to work as a school counsellor or as a professional counsellor in a community agency or post-secondary setting?
Both the Master of Arts (MA) and Master of Education (MEd) degrees in Counselling Psychology are suitable for students who wish to practice counselling in various professional settings.
The MA degree is suited for those who wish to conduct original research (in the form of a thesis) as part of their graduate studies. Students who are interested in pursuing a PhD in Counselling Psychology should consider the MA degree because most doctoral programs include a dissertation and accept applicants who have completed a thesis at the Masters level.
The MEd degree requires the completion of a comprehensive examination covering professional practice and ethics in counselling and a required course on counselling in educational settings.
"丁香园AV prepared me for effective and ethical counselling practice in more ways than I realized while I was in the program. I also met incredible people who became friends and trusted colleagues. The scholar-practitioner focus of the program continues to be the strong foundation from which I serve my clients and community."
