What will I learn?

The Master of Science in Counseling Psychology program is the oldest and largest graduate program at CBU. Founded over 40 years ago, this prestigious faith-based degree equips students with the ability to reconcile and restore relationships affecting individuals, couples and families. In CBU’s MS in Counseling Psychology program, seasoned core faculty teach from a biblically rooted perspective enabling students to address mental, emotional and spiritual needs in the community. The program is widely recognized and highly respected by public, private and faith-based agencies throughout the Inland Empire community. The MS in Counseling Psychology program aligns with the degree and coursework requirements for licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) in the state of California, and as a Professional Clinical Counselor (PCC) (for those students who complete the PCC course sequence), as set forth by California’s Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS).
