About Professional Counseling

Our master's of professional counseling program is all about getting you the hands-on experience and learning you need to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). During your 54 credit hours of core classes and six credit hours of practicum, you'll prepare to sit for the state licensure exam.

We have classes during spring, summer and fall semesters. You have options! All classes leading up to practicum can be completed entirely asynchronously, making learning from wherever you are as easy as possible no matter what your schedule is. If you prefer to have more engagement with your faculty and classmates, all courses have synchronous meeting options built in. Practicum classes will have weekly synchronous meetings.

The Graduate Counseling Programs at Texas Wesleyan University welcome and encourage applications from potential students, faculty and staff from diverse backgrounds in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs and other ideologies.

Leave Texas Wesleyan ready to succeed in the mental health profession.
