Through our ministry partnership with Ambrose Seminary in Calgary, we offer our students the opportunity to enroll in the Providence Counselling program without relocating from Alberta.

The Bible and Theology courses are taken at Ambrose Seminary. The counselling courses are presented in modular form by the counselling faculty of Providence at Ambrose Seminary premises in Calgary. Students also have the option to complete some courses on-line. Dr. Rodolfo Nolasco is the resident Providence professor in Calgary.

The M.A. in Counselling degree can be completed in four semesters by a full-time student. Because of the modular format, part-time study options are also available.

Program Objectives

• To familiarize the student with the major secular and Christian approaches to counselling.

Nature of the Programs

Students apply to Providence and enroll in the Master of Arts Counselling. They take their Bible and Theology courses through Ambrose Seminary. Through a series of one week modules, students complete most of their counselling courses with Providence Theological Seminary faculty at Ambrose Seminary in Calgary.

A major component of the program is a sequence of four practica where students are involved in hypothetical and actual counselling situations. These are offered during the regular semester.

Degrees can be completed in four semesters and two summers as a full-time student. Part-time study options are also available.
