Graduate School of Counseling and Psychology

Overview

The Graduate Programs in Counseling and Psychology prepare students from diverse backgrounds and cultural experiences to be master's level clinicians for the mental health and education fields. We have an innovative and supportive faculty who, themselves, are clinicians and involved in all aspects of the counseling profession. Our curriculum provides students with opportunities to develop knowledge and competence in counseling skills, theory, assessment, empirically-based research and personal growth so that they may deliver professional mental health services in a variety of work settings. Our program and faculty embody the values of UMHB as a Christian institution.

Our program has graduated over 200 students since its inception in 1987. Our graduates live across the U.S. and work in a variety of capacities from private practice to organizational consulting to community agencies and churches to educational institutions.

These are the things our students, both current and past, like about the UMHB Graduate Counseling & Psychology Program:

"A great environment to grow professionally..."

"I got my money's worth."

"I loved the small classes; being an individual and not a number."

"I appreciated the 'approachable' professors and the personal touch."

"In talking with other counselors in the area, I realized what a superior education I received."

"I could see myself grow as a professional and as a person."
