Master of Education in Counselling Psychology

Program Overview

This program prepares highly knowledgeable, skilled, dedicated and ethical professional practitioners to assist individuals throughout their lifespan and to effectively practice within a variety of settings.

It is a blended program which will require attendance on campus for a minimum of two semesters with the potential of more depending on the electives chosen.

The Counselling Psychology faculty promotes counselling as an effective, viable means of assisting individuals throughout their lifespan. The counsellor, regardless of their theoretical stance or work setting, functions as a change agent who is sensitive to and knowledgeable about the range of human development reflected in individual differences and in cultural and linguistic diversity. Effective and positive change is brought about by assisting clients to: examine and modify their behaviour for more effective living; cope with, adjust to, or otherwise negotiate the environments affecting their psychosocial well-being; and effect change in the larger society.

The practice of Counselling Psychology is based on theory and research, an understanding of ethical practices, and a set of professional and interpersonal skills. It is essential that graduate students study a variety of conceptual frameworks and research findings as preparation for collaborative work with other helping professionals, para-professionals and self-help groups.

The program provides a broad-based sequence of studies and supervised experiences that will prepare graduate students to be knowledgeable and skilled practitioners who can function in a variety of settings. Upon completion of this program, students will have acquired knowledge and competencies in the following general areas:

Individual and group counselling theory and techniques
Legal and ethical aspects of counselling
Human development and learning
Social, cultural, and linguistic diversity
Career education and counselling
Program development and implementation
Measurement and appraisal
Research and program evaluation
Application of current technology
Service delivery in rural areas

Additional Information

Scholarships

We offer entry scholarships of $6,500 CAD. Please note the following criteria:

If the student has completed more than 30 credits at the post-secondary level, they will not be eligible for entry scholarships.
If the student has completed fewer than 30 post-secondary credits, they do not need to apply for entry scholarships, as any student who applies to study with us is automatically evaluated for eligibility.
Although consideration is automatic, receipt of entry scholarships is highly competitive (typically, we would expect a minimum of 90% across all of a student's admission subjects though this does not guarantee scholarship status).
Preference is given to students whose applications are submitted by March 1 for the Fall semester
Scholarship funding for the Winter and Spring intakes is extremely limited, so entry scholarships usually only go to those who apply for the Fall semester (though some scholarships may be granted in Winter if funding is available).
Entry scholarships apply to the student's first year only and are non-renewable
