Loved my program at Walden. COVID hit while I was a student. The university and faculty supported students and their families by allowing leniency. The student assistance program offers 3 free counseling sessions for students, their families, their roommates. You can get 3 free sessions for each stressor! They have one on one faculty support for skill development for any student who asks. They have support faculty for students who have life challenges (e.g., hurricane, death of lived one, house burned... Read More down, etc.). For an online program they go above and beyond for offering a personal touch. You can email the program director any time and she will call you, help you, anything you need. I had tons of support. Overall the faculty were amazing. Like any university I have attended, there are some mediocre faculty, but they are few and far between. If I had a lower performing faculty, I would notify the director and she supported both the faculty and me. I truly felt valued. Some posts I have read indicate people felt like a number. I never experienced this. Of course I asked for help when needed and always received it. To be successful at Walden you need to read your assignments, sign up for help if needed, read and implement the feedback your instructors provide, and you need to remember they are training you to be a professional counselor. They will push you to grow. You will get feedback. I would check the accreditation requirements occasionally and the standards were clearly being met. One of my favorite experiences was a group experience that was absolutely free! I was well trained, cared for, and supported at Walden. I will go back for my doctorate!

I transferred to the Bellevue Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health counseling program after taking counseling courses from another grad school that was extremely sub-par in thoroughness, quality of instruction and depth of necessary subject matter. This appeared to be a reflection of younger, much less experienced and (ironically) much more authoritarian and ego-driven instructors. Bellevue U鈥檚 MSCC program was the exact opposite. They offered several handfuls of courses the other program... Read More missed, entirely: Diagnosis, Crisis Intervention, Adolescent counseling, Human Sexuality, Advanced skills, Psychopharmacology and Neuroscience and exhaustive qualitative and quantitative research classes (the latter two took half a year to complete). This school prioritizes the teaching of the etiology of each mental illness, including biological and genetic influences. 100% of professors in the clinical counseling program at Bellevue U possess PhD鈥檚 and have had experience working in the counseling field for many years. Most participate in private practice work alongside their classroom instruction. Professors have compassion, time, and interest; they view students as individuals. Bellevue U is CACREP accredited, which streamlines the licensure process and has become a 鈥済old standard鈥� of quality among the educational and counseling community. In the past year or two, graduation from a CACREP counseling school has become a requirement to apply for many jobs in this field. Many local employers the past several years have stated in job listings they will only hire those counselors who graduated from CACREP schools. Bellevue U prepares its counseling students with knowledge, skills, instructor experience, support and perspective. Loved my experience there and acquired a wonderful full time counseling job prior to my graduation! Thanks, Bellevue U!

Despite the overall stars given in this review, I wish I could've given the program a compete five star review. In terms of overall counseling school experience, I found that the teachers had such engaging and personable approaches to their passions and willingness to share their expertise with students. On the other hand, communication fell short with a lot of the coursework, especially regarding feedback given (sometimes 2-3 weeks before questions or concerns were addressed) and professors leaving... Read More very little, or even no feedback on coursework. I believe that the greatest counselors are formed from knowledge and character built through valuable and ongoing connections with other professionals. This was a very saddening reality in this program, despite the great and wonderful personalities of those within the program itself. The residencies, in-person, were absolutely remarkable, especially considering the connections I built with other students within the program, and still am connected to now! On another note, one of the residencies was cancelled, due to the pandemic (no fault of the program or school), but the then planned "virtual residency" setup was never given, so I missed out on an additional residency with those wonderful students I connected to. Furthermore, I would note that, when I graduated, I came to the conclusion that a lot of the teaching was also self-imposed, and while I enjoy teaching on its own anyhow, I wish there was more engagement with the professors. Some of the best professors I had in the CMHC program were ones that I only took 1 or 2 courses with in the entirety of the program. And lastly, I want to address that, after I completed the last week of the 60-credit program, I took my NCE (I PASSED!), I submitted my application for licensure in the state, but because I was still waiting on my transcript to come through, I reached out to the registrar-- She was so helpful, the lady I spoke to, but unfortunately, it looked like the information for graduation was skewed, and I had already reached out to the director a few different times with no response. I'm not sure, since I'm still waiting on confirmation, how this process will go about. I hope that other students, in the other Union programs, have a much different experience than myself. Thanks!

I'm enjoying Capella. You get out of it what you put into it. I've had some great instructors and I've had some that were basically ghosts who didn't do anything. You review your professors every term. The good professors get a good review, the bad ones get a bad review. I have not heard great things about flex path, but I am taking two classes per term and so far have a 4.0 GPA and am almost half way done with my program. I probably invest 5 hours per week into my school on a normal week, which... Read More is pretty minimal but if you're efficient, it's not hard to get by and still do good work. On a week where I have an additional assignment to complete along with just discussion posts, I will put in about 15 hours that week. You do have to be a disciplined person and self-motivated as well as organized to do well in this program. It is 100% up to you to make it happen. I think the advising department at Capella is excellent. I always get someone on the phone the same day I put out a call and the advisors are extremely knowledgable and personable. I've been pleased with Capella so far. I don't regret it at all.

I completed my MS in Clinical Counseling (recently changed to Clinical Mental Health Counseling to align with CACREP accreditation requirements) from Bellevue University. When I enrolled, Bellevue University's counseling program had recently received CACREP accreditation (a very important accreditation because more states are requiring CACREP accreditation program graduates for licensure). There are two residency requirements for this degree, and there are hotels nearby for those traveling by plane--residencies... Read More are a requirement, and if you cannot guarantee traveling to Bellevue two different times, you will not earn the degree. The overall majority of the faculty members are great and very helpful. The professors do want the students to succeed in the program; however, many of the assignments for the MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bellevue University can be very strenuous at times. My overall GPA was very high, but I studied every day and worked very hard on every assignment in every class. The program requires a minimum of a 3.0 GPA to continue in the program. With the program being CACREP accredited, there are "assessment probes" for each course, and that means a student must receive a minimum of an 80% on the assessment probes to pass the course. I know of some students who failed assessment probes and had to repeat the courses. The MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bellevue University is not an easy degree to earn. I have read reviews where some claim Bellevue University is a "diploma mill." While I cannot comment on their undergraduate programs or other graduate programs, I will say my MS in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University was not an easy degree to earn. I put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into my assignments, and there were times I wanted to give up, but I succeeded! If being a counselor is your dream, I would recommend Bellevue University's Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. If being a counselor is not your dream and you want an "easy graduate degree," the counseling profession and Bellevue University's MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling is not for you. I also want to mention Bellevue University has its Writing Center for all students, and the Writing Center will help you with your essay assignments (e.g., proofreading, continuity, etc.) if you schedule an appointment. My student coach (Bellevue changed the title for their advisors) was top-notch and has been with the university for many years and knows the requirements for the MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling very well. My student coach literally coached me and supported me every step of the way. I highly recommend this program and I've received compliments from seasoned counselors for knowing as much as I do with being provisionally licensed (working under supervision to achieve the required hours for full licensure), and although I read books on counseling and attend educational workshops and seminars for certifications, I could not have done it without the education I received from Bellevue University.

The degree itself is well designed, however the teaching post 2017 is mediocre with many of the quality teachers having left.Multiple unethical practices, no mental health assessment on students with students with mental health issues sometimes becoming unwell on the only face to face contact that students have with instructors and peers. Students are expected to have $1000 plus set aside for residencies that in my experience are poorly conducted with instructors coming out of recovery on some occassions... Read More and being bullying in nature.The complaints procedures are a sham with the department issuing their version of a complaint and staying with this. This is a for profit university so for poorer students the advantages are minimal and there is no proper preparation for the job market.

The Master of Science in Counseling at Prescott College is quite exceptional for several reasons. Firstly, the college offers a low-residency option, which means that you can complete the degree from home, in almost any state in the country, while still maintaining your job or other responsibilities. If the state that you live in has specific requirements for your counseling education, Prescott College works with you personally and professionally to guarantee that you will be able to meet the requirements... Read More that you need. Secondly, the program is quite customizeable. Each student is able to take courses at their own pace in order to create the degree that works best for their own needs. Thirdly, the faculty and staff in this program show incredible individual attention and mentoring to their students. Each person within the department knows each student by name, and truly seeks to further their education and professional success. As a student, I felt that my own needs and concerns were heard and addressed by the appropriate people in the college to ensure my own success. Prescott College feels very much like a family. I would highly recommend attending Prescott College for their M.S. in Counseling

My journey began attending another online University that had no respect for me as an individual after suffering a severe shoulder injury. I never had any family or academic support which, lead me to Capella University. The first day I began I have had nothing but support and worked really hard towards my academics which, earned to be on the Presidents List, invitation to be a Chi-Sigma Iota as well as becoming an Ambassador. My experience has been so supportive as well as positive throughout my... Read More journey with Capella. The instructors are awesome as well as supportive providing guidance even through are most challenging times of our lives. Now, that I only have a one quarter left I am encourage to pursue my PhD in clinical counseling with Capella University with a goal to develop an Ambassador program that represents Capella University.
