Overview

Our local, state and national affiliates offer professional development, networking opportunities and a glimpse into real-world counseling scenarios.

We understand that students bring their own personal stories to the study of counseling, and this breadth of life experiences and worldviews enhances the diversity of our programs. Our collaborative learning environment fosters both academic and professional success and sets the stage for long-term relationships with faculty, counseling professionals and classmates.

Specialization Option

Carson-Newman University offers three specialization options:

Clinical Mental Health Counseling
Professional School Counseling
A dual degree in both Clinical Mental Health and Professional School Counseling

Plans of study are developed to meet credentialing requirements. Licensure as a professional counselor or marriage and family therapist requires supervised counseling beyond the graduate degree and specific examinations required for the licensure area. All students are required to complete comprehensive examinations, and passing scores are required for the receipt of the master’s degree.

DID YOU KNOW?

Carson-Newman has a post-graduation placement rate of nearly 100% in both school counseling and clinical mental health programs.
The Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) and School Counseling (SC) programs are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) and meet educational requirements for licensure as a professional counselor in Tennessee and many other states.
