DESCRIPTION
- The Master of Divinity in Family Therapy is an advanced,
professional degree program that requires extensive studies in the
biblical text and theology couple with required courses for the
Master of Science degree in Counseling/Family Therapy. Students who
are not already licensed will be able to apply for licensure in the
state or states in which they plan to practice. Also, through
completion of this degree program, students will have mastered
skills to conduct ministry at a high level of professional
competence; will be committed to, and effective in, evangelism; will
be able to communicate in an intellectually articulate manner; and
will be able to conduct themselves in a way that is spiritually
mature and morally sensitive.
Though this program has a practical emphasis, students normally
continue careers in fulltime ministry or counseling. The Master of
Divinity in Family Therapy is open to all applicants who hold a
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree from a regionally
accredited institution including Southern Christian University. This
degree program has three concentrations: Clinical Counseling,
Pastoral Counseling or Marriage and Family Therapy.
