2015-2016 MPS-MS On-Campus Degree Program Course Listing (DPCL)
The dual Master of Pastoral Studies and Master of Science in Counseling (M.P.S./M.S.) is designed for pastoral ministers and future counselors seeking to develop well-honed counseling skills and greater knowledge of religious tradition and the spirituality of those they serve. Both degrees together offer a breadth and depth of expertise that will enhance counseling practice and pastoral work.
Students in this program must be admitted separately to the Department of Counseling, as well as the Institute for Ministry. The total number of credits for the dual degree is 72 credits. The dual degree allows for courses in one program to count as electives or required courses in the other degree program.
LIM students who enter the joint M.P.S./M.S. degree program should register for CNSL A702 Research and Statistical Methods in Counseling in the Department of Counseling within the first 12 hours of work in counseling.
Students should also take the Loyola Institute for Ministry course LIM 703 Introduction to Practical Theology as early as possible.
Currently, LIM students may register for up to 6 credits in the Department of Counseling at the discounted LIM tuition rate. All other counseling courses will be taken at the Department of Counseling tuition rate. Current tuition and fee schedules are available through the Office of Student Finance.
