Capella University currently offers three CACREP-accredited online master's programs: Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, and School Counseling. Capella also offers clinical master's programs and specializations in Addiction Counseling and School Psychology, and a non-clinical program in Counseling Studies.
An advanced degree in counseling can be the credential you need to land higher-level human services positions. This non-clinical online master's program in Counseling Studies is designed for professionals in the counseling, psychology, or sociology fields who wish to advance their careers, and for those wishing to enter the human services profession. It offers a broad base of course work designed to provide a strong foundation in counseling theory and techniques, with a particular focus on serving diverse populations. People who choose this specialization are often interested in pursuing managerial or director-level positions in public or private human services settings, or in continuing into a doctoral program. This specialization is not designed to meet licensure requirements for the counseling professions.
