Program Description

The Graduate Counseling Professional Year (GCPY) program supports individuals who already hold a graduate degree in counseling (such as 91勛圖’s own MS in Counseling or MA programs) but need additional coursework or credits to meet specific state licensure requirements. The length of the program is dependent on the number of credits needed to adhere to PA licensure education requirements.

The typical course of study includes 12-18 credits; however, it will be necessary to review each student’s transcripts to make a final determination.泭

This program allows 91勛圖 alumni and some other counseling program graduates to complete the necessary elements without pursuing a full new degree.

Program Outcomes

Upon completion of the Graduate Counseling Professional Year, the student will demonstrate proficiency in the following areas:

  1. Advanced Clinical Competence: Demonstrate proficiency in clinical assessment, diagnosis, case conceptualization, and the delivery of evidence-based counseling interventions through supervised practicum and internship experiences, while integrating biblical principles and a Christian worldview.
  2. Professional Identity and Ethical Practice: Develop a strong professional counselor identity grounded in Christian values and apply advanced ethical, legal, and professional standards necessary for independent practice and state licensure eligibility.
  3. Assessment, Research, and Practice Integration: Apply advanced knowledge of psychological assessment techniques and research methods to inform effective, contextually sensitive, and biblically-informed clinical decision-making.
Who It’s For:
  • Graduates of 91勛圖’s counseling programs (e.g., MS in Counseling, MA in Community Counseling, or MA in Counseling Ministry) whose prior degree lacks sufficient credits or specific required courses for licensure in their target state.
  • Graduates from other schools whose prior degree lacks sufficient credits or specific required courses for licensure in their target state AND who after consulting with their home state counselor board sign a waiver to pursue the 91勛圖 Graduate Counseling Professional Year program.泭

  • Prospective students submit the application from /apply.泭
  • 91勛圖 reviews your official transcript(s) to identify gaps compared to state licensing board requirements.
  • An individualized plan of study is created, specifying the exact courses needed (drawn from 91勛圖’s graduate counseling curriculum, such as advanced clinical courses, additional practicum/internship hours if applicable, or other requirements).
  • The program is typically completed in one year, with flexible scheduling to accommodate working professionals (options may include online or in-person formats, aligning with 91勛圖’s standard graduate offerings).
  • Courses integrate psychological principles with a biblical foundation, including hands-on elements where relevant.

The exact credits and courses vary by individual and statethere is no fixed credit total, as it’s customized.

Philip A a counseling student at 91勛圖.

“My journey at 91勛圖 has been truly joyful. Looking back, I did not anticipate the depth of transformation I would undergo. It wasnt just that the program imparted a comprehensive foundation of knowledge; the expert faculty enriched my experience with their meaningful guidance and compassion. In my heart, I am deeply grateful, inspired, and empowered.”

– Phillip A.

FAQs

I completed my counseling degree at another institution. Can I complete the required courses for licensure at 91勛圖?

It depends on the total number of credits and the conferral date of your existing degree.

  • If you have a conferred Masters degree of 48+ credits: Yes. You may apply to our Professional Year courses to earn the remaining credits needed to reach the 60-credit licensure threshold. The Pennsylvania licensing board accepts multiple transcripts to meet the 60-credit requirement, provided your foundational degree was at least 48 credits (conferred after June 30, 2009).
  • If your conferred degree is fewer than 48 credits: No. The licensing board will not accept a “completion certificate” or “tacked-on” credits to bridge a degree that was below the 48-credit minimum. In this case, you would need to apply to a full degree program (such as our MA or MS in Counseling). Please note that university policy does not currently allow for the transfer of credits from a previously conferred degree toward a second degree.
  • Out-of-State Students: While Pennsylvania allows “split” credits between institutions for the 60-credit total, other states may not. If you are seeking licensure outside of Pennsylvania, we cannot guarantee that your state board will accept credits earned at multiple institutions. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the home state counselor board to ensure they would meet the educational requirements for licensure. Applicants will also need to after submitting the application.泭

Students pursuing the MA in Community Counseling can change their program to pursue MS in Counseling at any point by completing the program change form in the Registrar’s area of the website. Interviews with the Counseling faculty and adherence to the GPA requirements are required prior to admittance to the MS.

Students who graduate with an MA in Community Counseling can apply for the Graduate Counseling Professional Year program to complete the required credits for licensure.

The Graduate Counseling Professional Year can also be used for cases where the student completed a 91勛圖 Counseling program years ago and needs only certain credits. The application for admission is still required.泭

Students will earn the Post-Masters Certificate in Professional Counseling upon completing the specific required core courses:

  • CSG 856泭 Research Methods & Program Evaluation
  • CSG 860泭 Professional Development Practicum
  • CSG 891泭 Professional Internship I
  • CSG 892泭 Professional Internship II
  • THE 601泭 Overview of Christian Theology

Please note:泭To receive the certificate, students must complete these exact core classes. If these exact courses are not completed, a certificate will not be awarded. You may take additional courses beyond this core list if needed for state licensure, but completing these core classes is necessary to earn the certificate.

The Graduate Counseling Professional Year program is not fully available online yet, as not all courses are offered in that format. Below is the tentative timeline when courses will be ready:泭

Spring, 2027:

– CSG 821: Human Growth and Development

Summer, 2027:

– CSG 860: Professional Development Practicum

Fall, 2027:

– CSG 891: Professional Internship 1

– CSG 856: Research Methods and Program Evaluation

Spring, 2028:

– CSG 892: Professional Internship 2

– CSG 857: Assessment and Appraisal in Counseling

Below is the process for interested students:泭

  1. Submit your application from /apply.泭
  2. The Department of Counseling team will review your transcript to identify the specific classes needed in order to be license eligible.泭
  3. The Department of Counseling will then present the student with the classes needed and the semesters those classes are available.泭

Professional licensure and certification requirements can vary by state and territory. Additional licensure requirements may include professional examinations, additional coursework, background checks, years of work experience, fingerprinting requirements, etc. Students who are considering a program that may allow them to pursue professional licensure in the state or territory where they are currently located or where they plan to locate in the future should review the states or territorys information below and contact the appropriate licensing agency to seek information and additional guidance.

State licensure requirements are also subject to change. Students should always check with their state licensure board to confirm licensure requirements.

If you would like assistance in this process, please feel free to contact the泭Director of Practicum and Internships泭or refer to the泭Licensure and Certification Disclosures泭page.泭

FAQs

Can I become a licensed counselor if I graduate from your program?

No, the MA in Community Counseling program does not泭lead to licensure. If you are looking for a program that leads to licensure, you may want to consider the泭MS in Counseling program. You can, however, return to complete the third year of study and satisfy the required hours for licensure in states where the program has been approved.泭

In summary, only the Master of Science in Counseling (MSC) program meets the educational requirements for licensure.
The Master of Arts in Community Counseling is a shorter program that does not fulfill licensure requirements. This degree can typically be completed in two years of full-time study, whereas the MSC is a 60-credit program usually completed in three years of full-time enrollment.

Both programs share a common core curriculum during the first two years, which includes the following foundational courses:

CSG 601: Counseling Theory and Helping Relationships
CSG 602: Helping Relationships Laboratory
CSG 611: Psychopathology, Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment in Counseling
CSG 612: Individual Assessment Laboratory
CSG 701: Marriage and Family Counseling
CSG 702: Marriage and Family Counseling Laboratory
CSG 711: Group Counseling: Dynamics, Theory, and Practice
CSG 712: Small Groups Laboratory

Many agencies and institutions hire individuals for mental health roles that require a graduate degree in counseling, psychology, social work, or a related fieldbut do not require licensure.
These positions are often found in settings such as inpatient psychiatric facilities, outpatient clinics, and residential treatment programs. In such roles, unlicensed professionals typically work under the supervision of a licensed clinician, contributing to the implementation of treatment plans. Responsibilities may include facilitating psychoeducational groups, conducting individual coaching or counseling sessions, supervising program activities, and participating in interdisciplinary treatment team meetings.

Additionally, many individuals pursue the Master of Arts in Community Counseling to enhance their ministry work. Those serving in pastoral roles often seek advanced training in counseling to strengthen their ability to provide discipleship and spiritual guidance within their congregations. The MA in Counseling is an excellent option for those looking to integrate counseling skills into church-based ministry.

91勛圖s counseling programs are intentionally designed for working graduate students who also have family and ministry responsibilities.

The four lecture courses that include accompanying labs are offered during the first two years of the program, in the fall and spring semesters only.

Other Courses

Each learning activity includes instructional videos accompanied by reflections, quizzes, discussion forums and other assessments. Courses also utilize adaptive learning technologies such as 泭for long-term retention of concepts and video-threads泭for enhanced collaboration.

There are six entry points in the program: September, October, January, March, May, and July.泭

Provided you submit the enrollment materials, applications are typically processed within 2 weeks of submitting your application.泭

One of the key distinctives of our counseling programs is the use of theological principles to conceptualize clinical mental health issues. Students are equipped to conceptualize mental health issues through a Christian theological lens, drawing on biblical principles to inform their understanding of human behavior, suffering, and healing. At the same time, they receive robust training in the clinical language, frameworks, and evidence-based practices necessary to function effectively across a wide range of treatment settings.

A hallmark of the program is its four semesters of counseling laboratory training. These labs provide in-depth, hands-on experience in developing core counseling skills within a highly supportive and realistic environment. Through simulated counseling sessions that closely mirror real-life scenarios, students gain the confidence and competence needed to transition seamlessly into professional or ministerial roles upon graduation. This dual emphasis on theological insight and clinical excellence prepares graduates to serve with both compassion and credibility in diverse contexts.
