UofC " This Is Now

The 12-credit (4 half courses), Post-Master's Certificate in Counselling program allows individuals with a Master's degree in counselling, applied psychology, or equivalent to develop additional expertise in a particular area of specialization. Students select four courses from among those offered in the area of specialization selected to form their certificate program. 

Areas of Specialization:

• Master of Counselling: Counselling Psychology
• Master of Counselling: School Counselling
• Master of Counselling: Career Counselling

With special permission, students may also opt to include a core course from the Master of Counselling program to make up deficits in their previous training experiences or enhance their work in a particular area.

The program has been designed to be completed in one year. This completion rate is considered full-time study at four courses per year. However, you may choose to complete the program more quickly or to extend it over a longer period of time (up to two years). Be prepared to plan ahead to ensure course availability and be sure to have any changes to the normal program plan approved by your academic advisor. Students in Post-Master's Certificate program start in the Fall Term of each year.
