Counseling

Master of Arts Degree (M.A.)

The Master of Arts in Counseling (MAC) program at Colorado Christian University combines rigorous coursework, experiential learning, and mentoring relationships into a comprehensive graduate educational experience. What sets the CCU program apart, though, is the Christian framework that encompasses every aspect and promotes study of the whole person, including the spiritual dimension. Students are given the unique opportunity to take Bible classes that explore the relationship between faith and psychology.

The MAC program equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become influential and effective licensed professional counselors. Throughout the program, students are challenged to take what they learn in the classroom and on field experiences and use it to make an impact in their communities, churches, and families. Upon completion of the program, graduates are prepared to take the Colorado Licensure Exam.

Through hands-on field experiences, students are challenged to explore how their personal faith impacts their profession and the people they interact with throughout their life.
Classes are held in the evenings and on occasional weekends, which meets the needs of adult students who are busy with work and family commitments.
Participants may take as little as one class per semester or up to four classes a semester, allowing each individual to complete the program at his or her own pace.
