Overview

Throughout the Divinity - Pastoral Counseling MDiv programme from the Liberty University you will study a wide range of topics like the Old and New Testaments, apologetics, church ministry, evangelism, homiletics, and theology. In addition, you will have a number of pastoral counseling electives so that you can focus on the area that you feel God is calling you to or that interests you most.

Our Master of Divinity in Pastoral Counseling provides you with the training you need in multicultural awareness, counseling men, women, children, the elderly, married couples and more. You will learn about the ethnic minorities you might encounter in pastoral counseling and how their backgrounds may affect the functioning and makeup of the family.

Throughout this degree, you will study common problems you might encounter in premarital and marital counseling. In addition, you will have classes that focus on common problems that may cause women to seek counseling and how to approach the solutions to these from a biblical perspective. Our aging society also has special needs they face in their older years. You’ll study how to counsel them through grief or coping with the changing world around them.
