What is the Clinical Counseling Psychology Dual Degree Program?
The Clinical Counseling Psychology program is designed to prepare graduates to meet the educational requirements for licensure as a Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts and most other states.
Apply as a high school senior into the dual degree program with one application and benefit from being considered for a $2,500 Dual Degree Scholarship (per year for your 4 undergraduate years). You will also be considered for a 10% Alumni Discount for every term you are enrolled at least part-time in your graduate program at Assumption.
Why Study Clinical Counseling Psychology?
With just one application, Assumption offers you the opportunity to earn two degrees in this field. Dual degree students benefit from having experienced academic advisors from the psychology department. In addition to coursework, you will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on research under the mentorship of faculty experts, earn course credit through clinically-focused internships, and attend co-curricular events where you can meet with current graduate students and faculty who teach in the program.

“The graduate fellowship experience has been a highlight of my time at Assumption. The fellowship allows one to experience aspects of psychological research, development, proposal, and implementation that cannot be found elsewhere. It provides students with an avenue to explore pathways of professional development previously never considered. ”

“Assumption gave me the tools and support necessary to be successful in my field of study. The program's emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy familiarized me with the theory that has been adopted by the partial hospital program I currently work in. My familiarity with CBT principles has allowed me to teach these concepts and skills to patients effectively.”

“Assumption’s professors will help you discover "what you want to be when you grow up." The professors prepare you to be an informed and well-prepared member of the mental health field. They have helped me to find my own therapeutic style and grow as a Clinician. I'm so grateful for all that I have learned here. ”
