Certificate Programs
Graduate certificates are available as an options for study in a concentrated area. Most certificate courses are not currently available online, therefore students should plan to attend face-to- face traditional Weekly or Intensive courses.
Certain graduate certificates can be added to the Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree or non-degree student holding a license-eligible degree. Students enrolled in the MS program may pursue any of the certificate programs offered at Richmont if they hold a license- eligible degree in counseling or a related discipline that is substantially equivalent in content to the MACMHC degree that Richmont offers. The student’s transcript must be evaluated through the Office of the Dean of the School of Counseling.
Students may be required to take prerequisites before pursuing a certificate. The certificate will be documented on the student’s transcript.
All MS students, including those who have not earned a licensure-eligible graduate degree in counseling, are welcome to take classes that are a part of a certificate curriculum. However, unless an MS student has a licensure-eligible degree and has been approved by the Dean of the School of Counseling to pursue a certificate, transcripts will not reflect that a certificate has been earned.
The Integration and Pastoral Care certificates are not available to students pursuing the Richmont Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree.
