University of the Cumberlands

Master of Arts in Professional Counseling

The University of the Cumberlands (UC) offers a flexible online Master’s degree in counseling, fully accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) that will lead students to become licensed professional counselors.

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 MAPC program—Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) and Addiction Counseling (AC). The aim of the CMHC program is to provide students with the academic background and requirements to become fully licensed professional counselors. The AC program prepares students to become licensed professional counselors as well as licensed addiction counselors.

Both tracks combine comprehensive coursework and hands-on experience enabling students to acquire the knowledge, theoretical foundations and best practices needed to serve as professional counselors.
