Gannon University’s master’s degree program in Community Counseling has been designated as a fully accredited graduate program. The Master of Science (M.S.) in Community Counseling is a 60-credit hour program accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). CACREP is the professional accrediting body in the field of counselor education. CACREP promotes the professional competence of counseling and related practitioners through preparation standards, excellence in program development, and accreditation of professional preparation programs. The two-year accreditation was awarded by the Board of Directors for CACREP. In a letter to the University from the board, the decision to accredit the program was based on several factors, including a review of Gannon’s self-study report on the program, a site-team report, and the University’s response to the site-team report.
Gannon University offers the Master of Science in Community Counseling. All students complete a minimum of 60 semester hours for the degree.
The program is designed to prepare individuals for careers in a variety of professional counseling settings such as community mental health, human service agencies, college and university counseling, and residential treatment.
The curriculum offers a blend of counselor training designed to provide the skills and knowledge necessary to become a professional counselor. The program prepares graduates to pursue certification as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
