Clinical Mental Health Counseling Master’s

In addition to learning the knowledge and skills required to be a community health counselor — with an emphasis on counselor ethics — you’ll also acquire advocacy, case management, social and public policy skills. This Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accredited program was created in 2006 and is approved by the New York State Education Department as a license-eligible academic program.

The program focuses on the preparation of professionals who have the commitment, knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and self-awareness to offer quality counseling services. Can be pursued on a full-time or part-time basis up to the point of the internship.

Since its founding in 1889 as a teaching college, SUNY Plattsburgh has had a strong history of meeting regional and statewide needs for higher education. It is also a major driver of the economic and cultural well-being of the community.

SUNY Plattsburgh is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) and authorized by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. The campus was reaccredited for ten years in June 2012.

Many colleges tout a faculty who work closely with students. At SUNY Plattsburgh, that claim is more than mere hype. Here great teaching is the norm, and the greatest teachers interact closely with their students, whom they make every bit as much of a priority as the exceptional academic scholarship for which many are nationally recognized.
