Accelerated Programs in Counseling

You can choose from two five-year (3+2) accelerated bachelor’s to master’s programs in counseling:

You’ll earn a BA in psychology in three years and an MA in clinical mental health counseling or school counseling in two years. Applicants must be eligible for the accelerated three-year bachelor’s degree in psychology, which requires a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 and at least two earned units of college credit, which can come from any combination of transferred Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, or community college credits. Students complete their bachelor’s degree by May of Year 3 and begin taking graduate courses in June. Students in good standing* in this program do not need to produce additional application materials or application fees to enroll in their chosen graduate program.

* Please note that students accepted in this program can only enroll at the master’s level if they successfully maintain a 3.3 undergraduate GPA and pass the standard counseling admissions interview at the end of Year 2.
