Master of Science in Clinical Counseling
Program Overview
A dynamic master’s in clinical counseling degree with specializations in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
Clinical counselors, especially those with specialized skills, play a crucial role in helping individuals facing mental health or disability-related problems reach their vocational, social, and personal goals. In Illinois Institute of Technology’s Clinical Counseling M.S. program, you’ll gain expertise in serving individuals with various needs in several clinical settings.
Our program provides a comprehensive education in clinical rehabilitation and mental health counseling and encompasses multicultural factors such as culture, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. In addition to counseling theory and evidence-based practices, you’ll develop a strengths-based approach to clinical counseling, ultimately learning how to empower clients to reach their optimal mental health and personal wellness.
Program Overview
As a student in the master’s in clinical counseling program, you’ll experience the following benefits:
- A CACREP-accredited Clinical Counseling M.S. The program length (60 credit hours) is required by the Council on Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) and is necessary to meet most counseling licensure laws in the United States. Following the program, you’ll be prepared to take the Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) exam or become a professional clinical counselor.
- Two in-demand specializations. Choose from the Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling Specialization or the Clinical Mental Health Specialization, according to your interests and career goals.
- Internships and practica opportunities. Apply what you’ve learned in practica and internships that align with your specialization to gain preparation for work as a practitioner. You’ll also connect with valuable contacts in the field and learn skills that cannot be taught in a classroom.
- Part-time option. If you’re currently working in the field and want to pursue your degree at a slower pace, you can choose a part-time option with evening or distance courses. You’ll also be able to complete the required fieldwork at your place of employment. The part-time program takes approximately three years to complete.
- Courses are primarily live and in-person. There are remote options available for students who cannot attend in person, as well as evening, weekend, and distance course options for working professional students.
