OVERVIEW
The Graduate Counseling program, launched in 1981, is committed to providing quality professional training for healing human hurts from a perspective permeated by Christian faith. Our training in theory and practice of counseling is designed for those seeking career opportunities in mental health agencies, hospital programs, private practices, church-related counseling centers, and other public and private facilities.
 

PURPOSE
Consistent with the mission of the institution, the Department of Counseling seeks to educate the whole person within a framework of a reasoned Christian worldview; developing knowledge, values, and skills necessary for effective professional service. The department's mission and purpose is extended to students who are not able to attend a more traditional residential program through technologies appropriate to distance learning. Learning objectives and outcomes for courses and programs delivered in a distance-learning format are comparable with those of the department's residential programs and courses.
