The Pre-Counseling minor MUST be understood as a preparation for graduate school and/or seminary and NOT as a professional counseling or licensure preparation program. While the student completing the minor will be better prepared professionally and for ministry, this is not intended as a terminal counseling or Clinical Social Work degree program. It is unethical and in many states illegal to call ones self a “counselor” or “therapist” without a graduate degree and licensure.
