Graduate Degree Mission Statement and Objectives
The mission of the graduate program in school and clinical mental health counseling is to train master’s-level students to be ethical and caring decision-makers who attend to the varied developmental needs of individuals in Pre K-12 educational and clinical mental health settings. Housed in a comprehensive regional institution steeped in the Catholic tradition, the Marywood counseling program, its faculty and curricular experiences, inspire and transform students to learn, lead and serve in a diverse and changing world. Within this context, the education of the whole person is paramount. The standards-based curriculum is rigorous; faculty expectations are high; and students are challenged to understand and apply the ethical dimensions of personal and professional life and to examine their own attitudes, values and beliefs.
Bearing this in mind, while endeavoring to synthesize and integrate the general education and the professional preparation of its prospective counselors, the Counseling Program faculty adopts the following program objectives:
Counseling Program Objectives
- To exhibit ethical professional behavior, skills, and dispositions consistent with the ACA and its affiliate standards in order to assume the role of professional counselors in school and clinical mental health settings.
- To acquire sufficient knowledge and skills to effectively provide individual, group, and outreach to meet the various concerns of diverse populations in clinical mental health and school settings.
- To exhibit professional leadership and advocacy skills necessary to serve as effective agents of change and advance the cause of diverse and underrepresented groups. Likewise, to develop a mastery of consultation skills and the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary collaborations.
- To acquire a comprehensive knowledge base of research principles and assessment in order to be consumers and producers of quality research. Further, to integrate current empirical information to reform and refine all aspects of the professional counselor.
- To demonstrate the capacity for self-reflection, self-evaluation, and integration of feedback.

Master’s students must graduate with a 48-credit degree in counseling or a related field to be eligible for the LPC in PA (Licensed Professional Counselor). To complete the educational requirements for the LPC, students must apply to the Counseling Licensure track at Marywood. Application may be made after graduation with the 48-credit Master’s degree. At a minimum, an additional 12 credits will be required for the Counseling Licensure track; at least 60 graduate credits are required for the LPC in PA.
For this program, you and your Counseling advisor will determine the fewest number of credits required. The student will be required to take courses that cover the core domains for becoming an LPC; fieldwork courses also might be required. The student and advisor will select an individualized course of study to complete the additional credits.
