The master’s level degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling is a new venture inspired by a desire to serve students well. It is designed to meet standards for LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) accreditation. The program will be staffed by faculty with a Christian faith commitment and asks that graduate students respect but not necessarily adhere to the Christian faith. Classes will be online synchronous and taught from a holistic, values-based, faith-sensitive perspective.

The Program Director will oversee all aspects of graduate student clinical training, including practicum and internship placements, and the integration of clinical experiences with academic coursework. In addition, the director is responsible for ensuring that the program meets state and APA accreditation standards and prepares students for professional licensure.

This Program Clinical Director role involves collaboration with faculty, students, and external partners as well as the Dean of the School to develop and maintain high-quality training opportunities. The position includes the expectation that the Program Clinical Director will be in charge of applying for accreditation, supervising the program under the direction of the Dean of the School, and teaching one course yearly in the graduate program as well as the Practicum/Internship courses.
