THE MISSION of the MA in psychology with an emphasis in counseling psychology program is to provide its
participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to become competent in counseling psychology through
academic and experiential learning. The program aims at educating future psychologists who have sound
knowledge of the theory and practice of counseling psychology, who are competent consumers and creative producers
of social science research, who are competent in counseling practice, and who are ethical and sensitive
to the cultures, values, and worlds of various clients.
THE PROGRAM is committed both (1) to preparing counseling psychologists for advanced doctoral studies in
psychology and (2) to providing training and experience that prepare students for practice. Its goal is to train psychologists
who have a sound knowledge of the bases of counseling and psychotherapy. Adopting a multicultural
perspective, the program also emphasizes the importance of multicultural competence in both research and
practice. Webster University Vienna has a 30-year track record in preparing students for successful careers and
has distinguished itself as a leader in mental health education.
