Counseling Psychology at Eastern University offers three graduate degrees that give you the qualifications you need to thrive in various settings of the helping professions. From school offices and clinical agencies, to pastors' studies, our graduates are offering real help to hurting people. While each of our programs has a different emphasis, all of our programs integrate Eastern's commitment to faith, reason and justice.
We are a GSA-NCC participating School: The Graduate Student Applications program for the National Certified Counselor (GSA-NCC) credential provides an avenue for currently enrolled students who are advanced in their studies and very recent graduates to begin the application process for national certification. Students from participating schools may aply through the Campus Coordinators at their schools. The Campus Coordinator, Paula Padget, provides administrative support in the process, allowing NBCC to offer the NCC application fee at a lower rate than the rate for non-partipants.
