Scholars play a vital role in examining and tackling disparities in mental health, education, and career opportunities. At Loyola University, you'll develop the knowledge and abilities needed to assist communities confronting these and other inequities while beginning your journey toward a doctorate in counseling or a similar discipline.
Through our master's program in community counseling, you'll collaborate with distinguished faculty to pursue independent research and get ready for doctoral studies, mastering research methodologies, counseling approaches, theoretical frameworks, and social justice concepts. You'll enhance your self-understanding, appreciate data-driven insights, and grow as an academic professional throughout the process. Most importantly, you'll partner with top researchers to comprehend and ultimately address the systemic inequalities affecting community health and wellness.

Alternatively, students can seek licensure through our MEd in Community Counseling or by completing supplementary coursework along with additional practicum and internship hours.
