Career Opportunities

Students who graduate with a Christian Counseling degree are qualified to do personal religious counseling as part of their own ministries. Graduates are sometimes employed to do spiritual counseling within a church. They also serve in a leadership capacity through the small groups ministry of a church. They can be employed as a camp counselor or in certain social work positions. A graduate is well qualified to pursue a master's degree in counseling, which is required to be eligible for state licensure. A master's degree and a license are required to work as a counselor in many contexts.
