Master of Arts in Counseling

City University of Seattle’s Masters of Art in Counseling (MAC) has consistently examined social justice issues as they relate to the overall mental well-being of people from all backgrounds. Race, poverty, social injustices, gender issues, sexuality, immigration status, and differences in morality and belief systems; all of these factors are taken into consideration in all course work and are of a particular focus in our training courses. It is the belief of our Master’s degree in Counseling that social justice issues must be addressed if one is to address the overall well-being of individuals, families, and communities. We provide opportunities for our students to be involved in these social justice issues.

Coupled with the above, using a practitioner-scholar model, the MAC program trains well-rounded clinical mental health counselors (CMHC), professional school counselors (PSC), and marriage, couple, & family counselors (MCFC) for the realities of day-to-day practice within a diverse world.

The MAC program emphasizes practical application of theory, development of case conceptualization skills, ethical awareness, appreciation of diversity, and self-awareness. You will be introduced to a broad range of clinical issues through a breadth of coursework delivered by practitioner faculty. Supported clinical experiences focus on the delivery of clinical services and assist students to develop a coherent theoretical and ethical framework for practice.
