Our Counseling degree programs also feature unique learning experiences beyond the classroom — global study experiences, internships, practicum experiences, and research — in which you gain valuable opportunities and perspectives throughout your time at Marymount.
Towards the end of your Counseling program of study, you will be eligible for the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) examination as you begin the supervised experience necessary to become a licensed professional counselor.
