Mission Statement

The mission of the master of arts in counseling program at Geneva College is in the context of the mission of Geneva College.

The mission of Geneva College is to glorify God by educating and ministering to a diverse community of students for the purpose of developing servant-leaders, transforming society for the kingdom of Christ. We accomplish this through biblically based programs and services marked by excellence and anchored by the historic, evangelical, and Reformed Christian faith. The curriculum is rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, vocationally focused, and delivered through traditional and specialized programs.

The mission of the master of arts in counseling programs is to educate and train a diverse community of students to develop knowledge, skills, and personal awareness necessary for them to function as professional counselors. The biblically based program prepares students to integrate their understanding of Christian faith with professional knowledge, skills, and personal awareness. The program is designed to prepare students to direct and profit from ongoing professional development. In addition to proficiency in general counseling knowledge, skills, and personal awareness, students are to develop proficiency in a counseling specialization.
