This online counseling degree serves both recent college graduates and those who want to broaden their expertise as mental health counselors by earning their licensed professional clinical counselor degree.
There are two tracks within the Master of Arts in Professional Counseling program—Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) and Addiction Counseling (AC).
