"My training at Regent gave me a meaningful way to express my empathy—it’s passion and compassion combined and they could feel the authenticity of it."

The Master of Arts in Counseling prepares students for professional licensure and certification. Those pursuing the M.A. in Counseling may choose an emphasis in either Community Counseling or School Counseling.

The School Counseling program provides the courses necessary for meeting the State of Virginia school counselor licensure requirements for employment as a school counselor at the elementary, middle and secondary school levels. Students are able, if they choose, to meet requirements for more than one level of certification (i.e., elementary and middle school counseling).

As with the community counseling degree plan, students may also meet the Virginia Board of Licensed Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Substance Abuse Treatment Providers academic requirement for licensure of 60 semester-hours.
