Course Rotation for the Master of Science in Counseling - Clinical Mental Health Counseling
In the Department of Advanced Education Programs, you work closely with a faculty advisor to plan your program of study in the way that will most benefit you. This program offers a great amount of flexibility, with all but three of the required classes offered online in the spring and fall semesters. However, some of our classes can only be offered once a year and others can only be completed on-campus. We provide this course rotation so you can see when the courses you need are offered, and ultimately so you can meet your graduation goals. The required on campus courses meet two weekends (Fri & Sat) out of the 16-week semester, or 4-days in a row during the summer.
If you have any questions about the M.S. in Counseling-Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, please contact Mrs. Kristin Hernandez at krhernandez@fhsu.edu. To find more information, please return to our Overview
