Master of Arts in Professional Counseling - Christian Counseling Concentration

This concentrated area of study is designed for students who are interested in a program that leads to licensure in professional counseling combined with coursework providing a focus for Christians who work as counselors in Christian and secular settings. Students in the Christian Counseling specialty must be simultaneously, but separately, admitted to both the Ottawa University and the Phoenix Seminary programs. The program consists of significant coursework from both schools. Upon successful completion of all requirements of each school, graduates are awarded the Ottawa University Master of Arts in Professional Counseling (MAPC) and the Phoenix Seminary Graduate Diploma in Christian Counseling (GDCC).
