Post Master’s Program in Counseling for Licensure Readiness

About the Certificate

The number of credits required will be determined after a transcript analysis has been completed. Specific courses will be selected through meeting with the student’s Program Director. However, a minimum of 12 credits are required for individuals with a 48-credit Master’s degree.

In this program, students could take any of the GPC’s core or elective courses recommended by the Program Director. Students could also take elective courses featured in our seven concentrations (Autism, Foundations in BCBA^® , Community Public Health, and Mediation and Conflict Transformation), pending approval from these graduate programs and completion of any necessary prerequisites. Other Master’s-level courses at Arcadia could be taken with the approval of the Program Director and with approval by the Office of Graduate Studies. To do this, students must complete a petition that includes a statement on course relevance to the student’s academic program and career goals. The petition form can be found at:

Additional Admission Requirements

In addition to the general admission procedures, a student also must hold a master’s or doctoral degree in a field closely related to the practice of professional counseling from an accredited college or university. Test scores are not required.
