Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
The CMHC program produces competent and ethical counselors who are qualified to be licensed at the state level and able to maintain stable and meaningful employment in the mental health field.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of the program, students will be fully prepared to take the National Counselor Certification Exam leading to state licensure as a professional counselor. From Fall 2017 through Spring 2020, 88.89% of graduates from the CMHC program who completed the NCE passed the exam. Most graduates from the CMHC program work as licensed professional counselors. Several of these individuals hold administrative positions within their places of employment.
