Colorado Christian University  

The Master of Arts in Counseling program offered through CCU’s College of Adult and Graduate Studies combines rigorous coursework, experiential learning, and mentoring relationships designed to equip you to become a culturally responsive professional counselor.

A distinguishing feature of the master’s degree in counseling program is the Christian framework that encompasses every aspect of the curriculum.

As a master’s degree in counseling student, you’ll be given the unique opportunity to integrate Christian faith and sound clinical counseling principles.

Upon completion of the M.A. in Counseling program curriculum, you’ll be prepared to take the National Counselor Exam, which is the clinical mental health licensure exam for the state of Colorado and many other states.
