EdM Counseling Psychology (Mental Health Counseling)

The Ed.M.degree in Mental Health Counseling  is granted after successful completion of a comprehensive examination, a special project, and 60 points of planned, sequential study beyond the bachelor’s degree, of which at least 42 points must be taken at Teachers College. Approval of transfer credits to the Ed.M. degree program must be conducted upon admission into the program; transfer credits will not be accepted thereafter. The Ed.M. degree could lead to the doctorate at Teachers College, and elsewhere–but usually with some loss of time and credits because of differences in emphases between master’s and doctoral programs. Students who apply to the program during or after taking classes at Teachers College as a non-matriculated student can transfer up to 12 points with no more than 8 points in the major if accepted as a matriculated degree student. Students who complete the Ed.M. degree are also welcome to apply for the M.A. en passant degree in Psychological Counseling which requires a minimum of 32 points along with the successful completion of the Comprehensive Examination.
