Counseling Programs - SGCS


Rebecca C. Taylor, Ph.D., Director

Open doors of opportunity in life via new and expanding fields in mental health. A master’s degree in professional counseling forms the basis for advanced counseling practice, continued professional development, and further graduate study. Master’s degree-equipped counselors serve as agency based therapists, pastoral counselors, case managers, human resource specialists, human service agency supervisors, consultants, and psycho- education specialists. Some choose to establish private practice after full licensure by examination in the State of Illinois. Create career choices by enrolling in Olivet’s Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling (MAPC).

The MAPC is three years in length and combines coursework and clinical experience.

No prior graduate coursework is accepted for transfer into the MAPC program. Courses in the program may not be audited.

Prior to beginning the practicum and/or internship, learners must carry personal professional liability insurance. Learners are responsible for applying and paying for their insurance. No clients are assigned to a learner until documentation of liability insurance is provided to the program director.
