CHANGING LIVESThe Graduate Program in Clinical Psychology equips students to serve with excellence as Christian mental health professionals. It also

strengthens other careers where advanced understanding of human behavior and motivation can increase job effectiveness. The course of

study leads students towards a wholeness and healing they experience for themselves and then take with them to share with others.

RELEVANTThis degree prepares graduates for licensure in the state of

California as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and with

an additional 5 units as a Professional Clinical Counselor.

It also prepares graduates for doctoral programs, service in

ministry, and other career opportunities.
