Part-Time Master's in Counseling Programs

Master's programs in counseling that publish a part-time option. Part-time study spreads the same credits over more terms, but practicum and internship still require substantial weekly hours at a field site — check each program's published fieldwork requirements.

Rule: Included when the program's official page states part-time study. This page updates from the directory's verified facts.
