Seminaries with M.A. in Counseling Degrees

A Master of Arts (M.A.) in Counseling (not Clinical Mental Health Counseling) is for students planning on pastoral counseling or other form of counseling ministry. In general, a seminary that offer such a degree program will prepare a curriculum that gives a biblical and theological framework for the ministry of counseling along with the theoretical and practical education of the counseling discipline itself. 


Divinity schools that offer M.A. degrees in Counseling are most often doing so for people who are already pastors sensing the need to improve their abilities for counseling their congregants and for others looking to become counselors in a church or para-church setting. 

Because of this, most seminaries do not carry previous counseling education or experience as a prerequisite for beginning an M.A. program in Counseling. Rather, most have only the requirement that prospective students have attained a bachelor’s degree, regardless of the field in which that degree was earned.
