Master of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling (MAPCC)
Join a distinctively interdisciplinary pastoral care and counseling training program
The Master of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling (MAPCC) offers a distinctively interdisciplinary pastoral care and counseling training program designed to produce highly skilled, critical, reflective, compassionate, and socially engaged practitioners-scholars with a robust and evolving sense of pastoral identity. Students will be equipped to integrate theology with psychological theories to address human suffering and facilitate the healing and flourishing of persons and communities.
REQUEST INFORMATION
“One thing I wanted from a counseling program is more than just Western conceptions of healing, and Garrett’s MAPCC program does such a good job of integrating different modalities into spiritual care and counseling. It’s not pathologizing and cares for the whole person.”
