Thank you for your interest in the Master of Arts Degree in Counseling. We encourage you to review this site and our main program website linked above. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you have. In our 60-hour program, we prepare graduates with the knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions needed to meet the challenges associated with entry into the field of Counseling as Professional Counselors.

Program graduates in the Clinical Mental Health emphasis are eligible to apply for the Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credential through the West Virginia Board of Examiners in Counseling at http://www.wvbec.org/ — when they complete post-graduate supervision and pass the National Counselor Exam (NCE) or the National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Exam (NCMHCE).

Program graduates in the School Counseling emphasis are eligible to apply for both the LPC-WV license through the West Virginia Board of Examiners in Counseling at http://www.wvbec.org — when they complete post-graduate supervision and pass the National Counselor Exam, and the Pre-K—Adult School Counseling Certification through the West Virginia Department of Education at http://www.wvbec.org/ upon graduation and by passing the PRAXIS II Professional School Counselor Examination (#5421).

In addition to these two major areas of emphasis, we offer a five-course Graduate Certificate of Advanced Studies in Violence, Loss, and Trauma Counseling, currently the state’s only graduate level initiative providing a sequential, specialized professional development opportunity for mental health professionals focusing on traumatology and trauma-informed mental health counseling.
