2010 Catalog cover - The Athenaeum Of Ohio

Theology electives must be chosen from Athenaeum
offerings in Biblical Studies, Christian
Living, Historical Studies, Liturgy and Sacraments
or Systematic Theology.
Those seeking licensure in the State of Ohio should
take Clinical Content courses as their non-theology
electives.
Clinical Content Courses
The clinical curriculum is designed as a supplemental
program for those students seeking licensure in
the State of Ohio. In addition to the basic curriculum
leading to the master’s degree in pastoral counseling,
a student must complete a minimum of 30
quarter hours of instruction in the following areas:
PA 550 Diagnosis of Mental and Emotional
PA 551
Disorders (4)

PA 417 Counseling Children and Adolescents (3)
PA 552 Counselor Supervision (3)
Membership, Certification, Licensing
Because many professional counselors seek
membership in professional societies as well as
professional certification and licensing, the MAPC
program endeavors to assist the candidate in this
pursuit. The State of Ohio Counselor, Social
Worker and Marriage & Family Therapist Board
has approved the Athenaeum of Ohio counselor
training program for the PC and PCC levels.
Although the administration of the MAPC degree
program can offer advice and such information as it
has at its disposal, it should be understood that it is
ultimately the student’s responsibility to make sure
that all academic requirements for licensure have
been met. To this end, it is usually best for the
student to be in regular contact with the state
licensing agency.
