The dual MDiv/MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program is offered to ministers and other interested persons who desire to integrate graduate theological training with academic and clinical education in the counseling profession.

The MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling requires 63 hours. A maximum of 15 hours may be counted toward the requirements of both programs. Students must complete a minimum of 123 total hours to obtain both degrees.
