School of Counseling and Well-being

Counseling, MS

The Master of Science in Counseling program prepares counseling practitioners in two tracks of study, clinical mental health counseling ( and in-person), and school counseling (in-person).

Professional counseling is the application of mental health, psychological or human development principles through intervention strategies that address wellness, personal growth, or career development, as well as pathology. The mission of the program is to focus on the preparation of competent and ethical entry-level clinical mental health and school counselors to work in a variety of settings within the state, region, and country.

The Clinical Mental Health specialization is offered in two distinct delivery models: on-campus and online. The on-campus program requires students to be on 61传媒tv's Morgantown campus for daytime and evening courses. Most students in the on-campus program complete the degree as full-time students. Applicants to the online program can choose to pursue the degree as either part-time or full-time students.

The School Counseling specialization is only offered on-campus and most school counseling students pursue the degree as full-time students. All students must have the aptitude to utilize digital learning platforms such as eCampus and Zoom, and the digital information tracking platform known as Tevera.
