Master's Project:

A written Master's Project is a requirement for all students. It is done under the supervision of a faculty member chosen at the end of the second year. The project is generally to consider the relationship of pastoral counseling to the larger field of psychology and counseling/therapy and to facilitate the emerging pastoral counselor's philosophy of change and treatment. Students should consult with the Department Chairperson at the beginning of the year in which they will undertake the project and register for CNS 990, which bears no credit and carries no fee.
