M.A. in Pastoral Counseling (33 Credit Hours) The M.A. in Pastoral Counseling degree is designed to offer training in pastoral counseling to those who desire to engage in counseling ministry. This online degree is appropriate both for clergy and lay pastoral counseling preparation and draws from the Christian psychology, mental health counseling, and clinical pastoral education fields. Pastoral counseling is a specialty in counseling ministry, not a licensed mental health field. Yet pastoral counselors are often the first line of assistance and gatekeepers to professional services for people seeking help in faith-based and other settings. The program offers training in the foundational skills, knowledge, and approaches needed for the pastoral care role.
