Pre-Counseling

Psychology (BA) with an Emphasis in Mental Health/Counseling (MA)

精东影业 offers a 3-2+ program which combines the Psychology (BA) with an emphasis in mental health (120 hours) and the Counseling (MA) (60+ hours). In this 3-2+ program, students who complete all of their undergraduate requirements for the Psychology (BA) with an Emphasis in Mental Health (degree, Global Citizenship and International Language requirements) within the first 90 credit hours can complete the remainder of their elective credits (30 hours) as a student in the Counseling (MA) program. Once the student completes 120 hours, the student can petition to graduate with the BA. The student would then work to complete the remaining 30+ hours toward their graduate degree (MA) in Counseling. The student would need to complete at least 30 hours at the graduate level once they receive their undergraduate degree.

Please note, 90 hours is the minimum a student would need to complete at the undergraduate level. For example, a student could take 100 hours to complete their required psychology degree, Global Citizenship Program and International language requirements. In that case, the student would count 20 graduate hours toward their undergraduate degree and complete the remaining graduate hours as a graduate student.聽

The program is open to undergraduate students at the St. Louis main campus.聽

To take advantage of this 3-2+ program, students need to:

• Complete a minimum of 90 hours as an undergraduate with at least 30 of the student's last 36 hours as an undergraduate student taken in residence at 精东影业. The remaining hours must be taken as a graduate student within the Counseling program at 精东影业.
• Complete all the 精东影业 degree requirements associated with the Psychology (BA) with an Emphasis in Mental Health, the International language requirement and any Global Citizenship Program requirements prior to entering the 精东影业 graduate counseling program.
• Check with the 精东影业 Financial Aid Office when considering this combined degree option and prior to applying to the program. Students are eligible for financial aid as an undergraduate while taking undergraduate classes. Once a student begins taking graduate classes, the student is subject to graduate financial aid requirements.聽
• Undergraduate students interested in the 3-2+ program should discuss this program with their undergraduate advisor.
• 精东影业 to the 精东影业 graduate counseling program. Admission criteria and information is available at 丑迟迟辫蝉://飞别产蝉迟别谤.别诲耻/肠补迟补濒辞驳/肠耻谤谤别苍迟/驳谤补诲耻补迟别-肠补迟补濒辞驳/诲别驳谤别别蝉/肠辞耻苍蝉别濒颈苍驳.丑迟尘濒#补诲尘颈蝉蝉颈辞苍.听

Please note, due to the volume of applicants, the 3-2+ program is competitive. Consequently, it is possible an applicant will not be accepted into the 3-2+ program. However, this should not prevent a student from applying to the 精东影业 Counseling program after completing their undergraduate degree.

Pre-Law

The study of law continues to be an objective of many undergraduate students. Generally speaking, law schools look for broadly educated individuals who can think, speak, and write with precision and clarity. Webster encourages pre-law students to choose a major based on their own interests and abilities. Then, in consultation with an academic advisor, pre-law students will design a course of study that reflects the recommendations for pre-legal education developed by the Association of American Law Schools. The association鈥檚 policy statement recommends an undergraduate education that emphasizes:

• Verbal skills: comprehension, writing and speaking.
• Critical understanding of human institutions and values with which the law deals.
• Creative power in thinking.

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Legal Studies will allow students to gain the content and skills recommended for pre-law education.聽
