About This Program
The Master of Arts in Christian Counseling degree program consists of courses that will enable the student to develop to another level in the field of Christian Counseling. The program consists of eight courses which are the equivalent of forty hours of study.
Texts must be selected from the list of Authorized Textbooks provided below. Although all textbooks may be ordered simultaneously, assignments must be submitted one at a time. Once a textbook is read, a 10 to 20 page paper describing what was read must be submitted for grading. A four to six page paper is required for each Chapter.
A one to three page Verbatim Report is required for each of the 10 required verbatim sessions. Verbatim reports are word-for-word reports of actual counseling or ministry care dialogue sessions — formal counseling sessions as well as hospital visits, nursing home visits, or conversations at church.
Each Verbatim report should begin with a paragraph describing the setting and conclude with a paragraph summarizing the student's perception of the result of the session.
Application Requirement: The prospective candidate must hold an earned Bachelor's degree conferred by an approved educational institution.
Courses/Textbooks may not be utilized for more than one degree program.
