Admission Requirements:

There are no additional requirements other than those required for admission to the graduate program at DBU.

 

Master of Arts in Counseling Agreement Contract:

Newly admitted students will meet with the Program Director, at which time the Master of Arts in Counseling Agreement Contract will be explained and discussed.  By signing this agreement contract, new students are stating their willingness to be evaluated on nine characteristics deemed necessary for the development of an ethical and competent counselor.  These characteristics are implied from the expectations of professional and personal competence and responsibility as outlined by the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics (2005): openness, flexibility, positiveness, cooperativeness, willingness to use and accept feedback, awareness of impact on others, ability to deal with conflict, ability to accept personal responsibility, and ability to express feelings effectively and appropriately.  In addition, the student's signature on the contract expresses agreement to attend eight counseling sessions during the first two semesters in the M.A.C. Program. 

 

Program Continuance:

Continuance in the program past the first 12 hours is pending submission of satisfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE):

   *a minimum verbal score of 400 combined with the quantitative score

     to equal 850

         or

   *a minimum verbal score of 400 combined with a minimum analytical

    writing score of 4.0

In lieu of the GRE, the applicant may submit the GMAT, MAT, or other nationally-recognized aptitude test with comparable scores upon approval of the program director and the  Masters Degrees Admission Committee.

Continuance in the program past the first 18 hours is pending successful completion of a minimum of 12 undergraduate credit hours in psychology (including general psychology, statistics, and six upper-level hours).
