President Steven J. Land has announced the Pentecostal Theological Seminary has just been approved for a change in degree nomenclature as follows:
Master of Arts in Counseling (MAC) (54 hrs)
and
Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (MACMHC) (91 hrs)
This request has been approved by both the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Theological Schools and is effective immediately. Since 1989, the Seminary has offered the masters degree and academic requirements that is required for licensure preparation as a Licensed Professional Counselor in most states. The Seminary has adjusted its program as requirements of the American Counseling Association and the National Board of Counselor Certification has been continually upgraded. The 91 hour MACMHC degree represents the latest in nationalized standards and preparation requirements for professional clinical mental health counselors.
