The Programs It is the mission of the Counseling Programs to train individuals in the theory and practice of the profession of counseling such that they become thoughtful and responsive practitioners. The profession of counseling is grounded in the view that counselors facilitate and maximize the development and potential of all persons. Counseling is concerned with the development of appropriate repertoires of adaptive behavior within the environmental context in which the person resides. The counselor respects the ethnic background and diversity of each individual and attempts to promote development congruent with the person’s beliefs, values, and personal background. The University of Massachusetts Boston Counseling Programs prepare its graduates to be professional practitioners in a variety of community settings and institutions: hospitals, schools, rehabilitation agencies, career planning centers, employee assistance programs, clinics, residential treatment facilities, and other mental health agencies. Students choose to focus on a particular area within the counseling profession. Options are: • Family Therapy (Master of Science)—see page 104 for specific information about this program • Mental Health Counseling (Master of Science)—see page 108 for specific information about this program • Mental Health Counseling, Forensic Services Concentration—see page 109 for specific information about this program • Rehabilitation Counseling (Master of Science)—see page 111 for specific information about this program • School Counseling (Master of Education)—see page 113 for specific information about this program The Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) This program is designed for those already holding a master’s degree in counseling. The professional development opportunities offered through the CAGS curriculum enable students to acquire licensure in a second specialty area. Students entering UMass Boston holding a master’s degree in counseling must complete a program of study of at least 30 credits, through which they meet the course requirements for the area within the Counseling Program for which they seek licensure. For the Mental Health Program, an applicant from another university would need to complete a minimum of 48 academic credits to be eligible for the CAGS. The MEd/CAGS or MS/CAGS Students seeking to complete both the master’s degree and the CAGS at UMass Boston will complete the MS or MEd requirement of 60 credits and a minimum of 18 additional credits to meet the MS or MEd/CAGS requirement of 78 credits total.
