Master of Arts in Counseling (MAC)
Earn Your Master's Degree From Missouri Baptist University!
The Master of Arts in Counseling (MAC) degree meets all of the requirements for Missouri Certification as an Elementary and Secondary School Guidance Counselor. A unique program feature also meets all of the academic requirements to obtain a Professional Counselor Licensure in Missouri.

For many, certification as a Psychological Examiner is a logical extension of the counseling degree program. Missouri Baptist University offers this program for individuals who have a master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling, Counseling Psychology, Educational Psychology, or Education.
