Framingham State offers the Master of Arts with a concentration in Counseling Psychology in both a licensure and non-licensure track.

The licensure track combines theoretical aspects with practical counseling skills to prepare students to work effectively as a counselor in any mental health field. A culminating internship experience must be arranged at a site affiliated with or approved by the Department of Psychology.

The non-licensure track provides a theoretical understanding of the issues related to the counseling psychology profession. Students receive a strong foundation in psychology and in current theories, data, and research related to counseling approaches.
