M.A. in Human Relations- Non-Licensure, 42 Credits
This program is reserved for matriculated students, who based on the assessment of the Department, cannot complete their capstone field work (counseling internship). It is expected that this degree would be awarded to a limited number of students, who can achieve a master’s degree that would demonstrate academic accomplishment but would not result in their meeting the educational eligibility requirements necessary to attain licensure as mental health counselors. The Master of Art in Human Relations would recognize academic achievement and would support a graduate going forward into the workplace with a credential that would be relevant for careers in, e.g., social services administration, community relations.
