The mission of the Chatham University Master of Science in Counseling Psychology Program has at its core a commitment to the education of women and men so that they might as professionals contribute to the well being, transformation, and liberation of human beings through meeting the current and future psychological needs of society. The program focuses on both the personal and professional growth of students, emphasizing human-centered values and approaches reflected in the development of empathic, compassionate, and thoughtful counselors. The program aims to prepare students to become competent providers of counseling psychology services in the context of a diverse community and the ever-changing healthcare environment. The Master of Science in Counseling Psychology (MSCP) prepares students for master’s level positions in professions promoting the optimal development of individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities. Graduates of the program will be ready for employment in agencies providing mental and physical health services, social services and other educational, professional, and business organizations. The psychology-based curriculum integrates theoretical foundations, experiential perspectives, and research methodologies with practice. In addition, students learn to assess persons in their familial and social contexts, design strategies for change, and evaluate the effectiveness of those interventions. Students are further encouraged to be mindful of the socio-cultural diversity of individuals, families, and groups.
