(Dual Degree) Track
The M.A. in Counseling/M.Div. in Pastoral Counseling dual degree track program expands the student’s preparation in the biblical and theological areas, and adds a substantial ministerial emphasis (see the M.Div. program description). It is designed to prepare individuals for both professional counseling and such ministries as the pastorate, pastoral counseling, family ministries, pastoral care, chaplaincy, discipleship, and small group ministries. Additionally, the dual degree track program begins preparation for membership in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. The Master of Arts in Counseling degree program is designed to meet the educational requirements for licensure by the Oregon State Board of Licensed Professional Counselors.
This dual degree track requires 46 hours in addition to the 70 hours listed above for the M.A. Counseling degree.
