Counseling - Eastern Mennonite University

Counseling from Eastern Mennonite University is a Campus Master Community Health degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. Our program provides academic preparation for the professional practice of community counseling. Students in the MA in Counseling program at EMU choose from two degree options. Community Counseling: a 60-semester hour, CACREP approved track, that prepares students for clinical practice and meets educational requirements for Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia. A Dual Degree will enable a student to earn both an M.Div. and a Master of Arts in Counseling in approximately one year less and at less cost than if the degrees were pursued separately. Mutual Caring and Community Building The Master of Arts in Counseling program provides accredited training within the context of the Mennonite tradition of mutual caring and community building that emphasizes both individual growth and just social structures. The ideals of personal and community wholeness are values grounded in the ethical contexts embodied in this faith tradition. We welcome students and faculty from other traditions who enrich our community . We believe that individual personal worth or value to God is not dependent on the level of social or spiritual development. People are valued and accepted by God unconditionally. Within this context of grace, the goal of counseling is to promote growth, Christian discipleship, and maturity in individuals, churches, and communities. The Master of Arts in Counseling program is committed to creating an educational environment that values relationships in community. Our mutual support and shared learning creates a place of safety for the sacred work of counseling. Students will become knowledgeable about and committed to the ethical standards of the counseling profession, the American Counseling Association, and other professional standards which govern the practice of counseling. These are minimal standards for practice and character. Students are mentored and encouraged in the process of internalizing ethical sensitivities and practices toward their professional counselor identity.
