Get your Master's degree in Community and College Counseling in South Boston!

Longwood University will offer the Master of Science in Education with a concentration in Community and College Counseling at the Higher Education Center in South Boston beginning with the spring 2011 semester.  Two courses are offered each semester (spring, summer, fall) until completion in the spring of 2013.  Courses typically meet on Friday night/Saturday all day or only all day Saturdays or evenings.  The combination of face-to-face meetings and online provides the advantages of both methods.

This master's degree program offers an interdisciplinary degree specifically for those preparing for counseling roles in community agencies, working areas such as mental health, social services, youth development services, court services or rehabilitation, or in college settings such as student affairs offices, counseling centers or residence halls.  Students interested in pursuing licensure as a Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Virginia obtain a good start towards that goal with this program.  For a complete listing of the requirements for that licensure, please review the Virginia Board of Counseling regulations at www.dhp.virginia.gov/counseling/counseling_forms.htm#LPC. 

If you are interested, please send a request for information and application to Kathy Charleston, charlestonke@longwood.edu.  The application deadline is September 1, 2010.
