Overview

The 60-credit-hour Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at John Carroll University can be completed in as little as two years through a combination of face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses. Early in the program, classes are primarily on campus, enabling students to build community and work closely with faculty.

Later in the program, as students dedicate themselves to significant work at their internship sites, some classes are held online to ease scheduling and balancing personal commitments. Our diverse student community is composed of both full- and part-time students, allowing you to progress through the program at your own pace.
