C-SC to offer graduate program in counseling beginning in fall of 2022

CANTON, Mo. — Culver-Stockton College is launching a Master of Arts in Counseling degree program designed to develop the knowledge and skills needed to become a professional advocate in the field of mental and behavioral health counseling and child advocacy networks. 

The program, beginning in the fall of 2022, features specialty tracks in clinical mental health and school counseling. Applications for admission are open. The curriculum is designed for a working professional or an undergraduate student who wants to enter the workforce with an advanced degree. The graduate coursework will be completed in three years as a part-time student or two years as a full-time student. Most instruction takes place online, except for two one-week courses offered during the summer. Cohorts of students will begin each August, January and May to meet the 60-credit-hour requirement for accreditation and state licensure/certification.    

The programs were developed by Angel Knoverek, an assistant professor of psychology. Knoverek was a licensed professional counselor, focusing on childhood trauma, for nearly 30 years before joining the Culver-Stockton faculty as an educator.

“I’m very excited to have the opportunity to develop the Master of Arts in Counseling and look forward to advancing our students in their livelihoods as professionals, caring individuals and contributors to their communities,” Knoverek said in a news release.

An informational session regarding the counseling graduate program will be scheduled in the near future. For information regarding that event, financial aid for the degree program or admission requirements, contact C-SC’s admission department at 800-573-1883.
