Welcome to the Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling Program! Thank you for your interest in our program at Illinois.
The Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling is a two-year, face-to-face program that trains students in psychological science and cultural diversity in practice across the lifespan. Students engage in rigorous course work in the classroom and applied psychological practice through practicum experiences. The program prepares students to meet the licensing requirements for Licensed Professional Counselor (LCP) in the State of Illinois. We encourage you to explore licensing requirements in the state in which you wish to practice as requirements vary.
