Minimum Degree Requirements

The Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program as well as the Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling Program require the completion of 60 credit hours of coursework while the School Counseling program requires a minimum of 51 credit hours. (It should be noted that, beginning July 1, 2020, the school counseling program will also require 60 credit hours). All students, regardless of program specialty area must successfully complete the following 3 credit core courses:

  • CNS 504: Statistics 3
  • CNS 505: Testing and Appraisal 3
  • CNS 510: Foundations for Faith-Based Counseling 3
    or Counseling 511: Christian Counseling within the Mental Health Professions 3
  • CNS 512: Research Design and Program Evaluation 3
  • CNS 514: Human Development 3
  • CNS 520: Counseling Theory 3
  • CNS 521: Counseling Skills 3
    or Counseling 579: Child and Adolescent Counseling Skills 3
  • CNS 533: Career and Lifestyle Counseling 3
  • CNS 534: Social and Cultural Foundations of Counseling 3
  • CNS 536: Group Counseling 3
  • CNS 537, CNS 538, or CNS 539: Professional Issues and Ethics in Counseling 3

Additionally, students must complete 12 credits of program specific classes including Professional Issues and Ethics as well as an additional 9-12 credit of elective courses, depending upon whether or not the statistics requirement was met upon program entry.

Finally, according to Geneva College's Graduate Education Policy, "graduate students do receive academic credit for a grade of C but should be cautioned that C level work is not considered to be acceptable graduate work that a 3.00 is required for graduation, and that students may not have more than two C's." In the MA in Counseling Programs, students must maintain a 3.0 Grade Point Average (GPA) to remain in good standing. Students whose GPA's fall below 3.0 will be placed on academic probation for a maximum of three semesters (fall, spring, and summer) or until the GPA is raised to a 3.0 or higher, whichever occurs first.
