The 60-credit joint MSCJ/MSMHC program consists of twenty courses, eight in the MSCJ program and twelve in the Mental Health Counseling Program (MSMHC). This degree meets the need of public and private sector workers who wish to strengthen their direct service skills in the increasingly interdependent areas of mental health, human services, and criminal justice. Students must meet the admissions requirements for both programs and declare this joint degree during the first year of matriculation. Degrees will not be awarded until all degree requirements for both degrees are fulfilled.
