Distinctive Program Design

Unlike clinical mental health tracks, this curriculum focuses on the broader application of human services, offering a flexible path for those who do not require licensure for clinical practice. Students gain a deep understanding of human behavior, neurobiology, and ethics, while benefiting from a program that shares core coursework with the University's MS in Mental Health Counseling. The experience culminates in a capstone project, where students demonstrate their mastery of professional competencies through the application of research and theory to contemporary challenges in the field.
